Since I've been playing a feral druid, I am unversed in the ways of the resto druid. I'm wondering if selecting any of the Healing Touch talents are worth while for a resto druid. Do you have to switch out of ToL to cast healing Touches very often?
Basically, it doesn't seem like the talents involving healing touch would be very effective at level 70 if you don't have to switch out of ToL, specifically:
Naturalist
Tranquil Spirit
Empowered Touch
If switching out does seem to happen enough, what talents would you choose first? Naturalist seems like it would be most important if you are trying to catch up on heals, followed by Empowered Touch because of the big bonus for only 2 talent points.
Anyway, thoughts from any of you Resto/ToL druids?

My PVE healing build:

Resto for resto's sake, basically. It's all in knowing your role and inspecting each talent available to you. For PVE raiding there's basically nothing from the first 2 tiers of feral or balance that I would find any use of, so I don't see any purpose in putting points there. I can't afford enough points to go deep enough for the good stuff, so I'd rather pad resto. I have to respec for PVP, anyway, so no use getting a talent I'd only find useful in such an environment. Basically I look at the resto tree and think about my raid experience. If there's even one specific situation I know I might encounter during a week's raid to justify having points in any particular talent, I get it (such as the 3 points in Natural Shapeshifter in case I have to shift out of tree form for decursing, NS HT, etc). Naturally if you know you will hybrid your roles (using one spec for raid, solo, and PVP) there's no reason to shove so many points in resto, especially if you don't want to have to respec for PVPing.

Thanks for the input guys. It sounds like it's best to focus most talent points in Resto for being able to heal in different scenarios.
Just out of curiousity, for those that have mentioned pugging heroics and staying in caster form, do you think it'd be useful to have Insect Swarm? It'd be a nice mitigation tool, but does require 11 points in balance which seems like a lot of points that wouldn't be used in many cases.
Thanks for all the feedback guys, and any other Restos please feel free to comment. There aren't a ton of Resto threads in this forum yet.
Any spell rotations or healing tactics would also be welcome :P

it is really situational on how you are planning on playing. if you want a PvP specced char that can easily go through heroics so you can cut down on respeccing you can go with this build or similar:

warning on that build however, it is completely 100% useless outside of PvP and grouping.
once you have 41 points in resto and all of your Hot talents taken you can really get absolutely monsterous HPM with lifebloom. by the time you are done gearing heroics or kara you will pretty easily be at about 700 per tick on lifebloom
