Woe to those who find themselves in the beast's path.

Why do you hate healers, blizz? WHY?

 

As always a good summary.

[Seksi 208]

These affixes are really not too bad at all. Remember that its a Tyrannical week, so Skittish mobs won't hurt nearly as much as last week. While there is Bursting, at least you can heal this week. Last week you were looking helplessly as your tank got crushed by Necrotic stacks..

Do you have a source for "an increased chance to receive transmogs, pets, and mounts." on Mythic?
