Why these weights
Restoration heals with Rejuvenation, Regrowth and Wild Growth. In Forever Rejuvenation, Tranquility and Wild Growth can crit, so crit is worth somewhat more than in Classic, though still behind healing. Healing and spell power first, then mana per 5 s and spirit (Innervate scales with it), then intellect.
