Trying the resto tree

I have been gearing up for my resto build since the new patch came and I'm quite pleased with my progress.
Blizzard has done a good job with the new resto tree. The new talents and glyphs reflect how much healing has changed for the shaman. I like how the new spell rotation works. Till know I found 2 valid spell rotations.

1)A single target healing rotation that consist of the new Riptide spell and add 2 Healing Wave spells with reduced cast time thanks to the Tidal Waves and Healing Way your healing spells are a lot more effective
2) Consist of multi target healing starting with Riptide, followed by Chain Heal which gets a little more boost from the Earthliving Weapon procs, you can mix it up with a few Healing Wave spells thanks to the Tidal Waves procs.

A good improvement was made to the Earth Shield with 2 tallents(Improved Earth Shield and Improved Shields) and lets not forget the Elemetal Weapons.

Healing for shaman has shifted in nice direction with multiple spell rotation options from the old big mean Chain Healing spamming machine wich still works prety good but adding Riptide to the rotation makes it more "interesting".
