Lifebloom nerf in WotLK?

I've heard that the healing coefficient for LB ranks 2 and 3 is being seriously nerfed in WotLK. Has anyone else heard this? Anyone else beta-tested this?
I'm extremely curious if this is the case, and why Nourish has been introduced to be used in conjunction with LB to make it actually viable in pve but lots more difficult in Arena.
Any info would be appreciated.

The blizzard developers have stated that Lifebloom was more powerful than they wanted it to be. They didn't intend for it to become THE heal. They didn't want a big shift from the old healing methods.

The sad thing is that it's only OP'd in pvp. I'd hardly call it overpowered in pve. Maybe if they nerfed *resilience* things would be better.
I hope they make tree healing fun and viable still. They've got some interesting glyphs that affect Regrowth and Healing Touch that look like lots of fun.
I guess we will see.

Pre-BC, druid healing really was more dependent on all the heals. The purpose of rejuv and regrowth was a heal buffer while you casted healing touch. This is where WotLK is looking to go back, to make using more then just lifebloom important.
Not really. You had one druid with the talents and highest +healing maintain Rejuvenate and Regrowth, then he and all the other druids just spammed HT Rank4. Remember, at that time HoTs did not stack across players.
The numbers I've seen so far for the Lifebloom nerf, and the relative size of the nerf I've heard from other people that did not provide numbers, do not match up. Half the people say that Rank 2 in WotLK heals for less than Rank 1 on Live, but when I looked at the only beta thread that was linked, the only one I saw that had numbers, the difference between Rank1beta and Rank1live is only about 40 healer per second on a three stack. That's a pretty minor nerf; still the strongest heal I have, at any rate.
I can't seem to find the thread I am talking about, so I have no idea if the nerf has been tweaked farther.

You apperantly must not raid much, lifebloom is not a druids mana efficient heal, rejuvenation is. The only good thing about lifebloom is its end heal, never stack 3 on a tank at one time, the max should be 1-2.
Sounds like you don't raid much yourself. Below is how efficient these spells are for my druid: 61 point restoration, ~2225 +healing (including ToL aura): These values are calculated by DrDamage, and include the mana reduction from ToL form.
Lifebloomx1 (blooming): 20.7 heal per mana
Lifebloomx3 (rolling): 27.2 hpm
Rejuvenate: 12.2 hpm
Some other numbers:
Healing Touch: 7.6
Regrowth (cast + allowed to tick fully): 11.9
Regrowth (spammed): 5.5
Him saying never stack 3 on a tank makes me think this is just some poor attempt at lolsarcasmnoob.
