I just tried it, cloudburst did get a nurf and I was looking with our healer comp things were getting topped up quick. Wasn't getting as much use, plus less time to DPS I guess. I'm just testing things, but as you can see they're both objectively the same sort of performance, it's just simply that cloudburst can be better. In m+ I'm getting over 1M cloudbursts in keys, which is often wasted (but a good safety net). It's more about timings, where as stream is fire and forget and probably not quite as impactful. I was meant to check logs with 5 healers and see how cb totems healing compared to my stream but I haven't had a chance yet, was too busy hitting over 3k Rio rsham
Looking over the logs on a higher parsing Resto Shaman than me 5 healing Council using cloudburst, my healing stream healing was actually higher lol. Me: www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/3T7C4anYmc2v9hPq#fight=14&type=healing&source=1 Them: www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/41fv9wPpk7K6tAQJ#fight=26&type=healing&source=7 This is literally the first shaman parse i randomly scrolled down and found, considering he was parsing I would assume his cloudburst healing would have been better, but it wasn't. Seems to be no actual gain from going CB apart from "quick top up", however I recommend CB in M+
If you don't mind me asking why the healing stream instead of cloudburst?
