Really?

Most people I see tossing out parses use ACT (Advanced Combat Tracker).

This program tracks wards as heals (SOE put in specific wording for wards just so that parser programs could be updated to count the damage done as healing).

In fact, when on raids, most of the time the one shaman shows up as 40% or more of the healing on the parse. Unless people get a chance to heal others, the wards tend to cock-block the rest of heals.

Damage eats through the WHOLE ward first, then sets off the reactives, then leaves something behind for the regen. Druids can lay down some massive healing on the parse and compete, simply because they toss out so much group healing (or maybe my wife plays her warden better than those other lazy healers)... but if it's just the MT, then the shaman is usually top.

ACT should show that for you in it's parse.

What Kaisoku said - didn't even know that other parsers are still around (CSM is dead after all).

Get ACT here

Yeah, wards tend to parse very high for most raid-type stuff (and most group stuff). The only time I (as a warden) parse high on the heals is in an AE / many mob situation where I can throw out group heals. The inability of a warden and a fury's HoTs to stack is also rather annoying and tends to cut down on my ability to use my major source of healing (the HoT). So I'm left with group healing and my slow, target-heals for when the tank starts getting below like 95%

And to get back on topic... definately use ACT. ACT rocks.

Look at the heals per second, the other classes will be up there as well.
