Keeva at Tree Bark Jacket blog has posted one of the most comprehensive guides to playing a Resto Druid I've seen yet. This extensive guide covers just about everything a Resto Druid needs to know: talent specs (below the haste cap, over the haste cap, raid healing, tank healing, 5-man healing), explanation of Druid talents, overview of healing spell types, healing rotations (raid healing, tank healing, 5-man healing), stats to look for on gear, gems, glyphs, idols, trinkets, consumables, enchants, addons, macros, keybinds and leveling guide. You getting the idea? Current as of WoW Patch 3.3.3.
