Here's the exact text - I don't think most clerics would object:

First I want to ask you all to keep within the generally existing mechanics.
We're looking for balance, but I'm not going to bring a dozen new spell
ideas to the team as a balance tool... And, realistically, we have to keep
the ideas to things that won't require a team of artists and programmers to
create.

Here's what I've gleaned so far, filtered through my own ideas.

Healing:

Druids (and Shaman) want to be better at healing. Not only would this give
them a more active roll at the end of the big raids, while at the same time
reducing perceived 'need' for clerics at such times. But we also have to
keep in mind that healing is the clerics role, and we do not want to
infringe on that role.

So the proposal is this:

Move Superior Healing to 49th level.

Add a new healing spell at 55th level. My suggestion so far is Remedy - a
fast casting, low healing spell, and a solid upgrade from Superior Healing
that won't really infringe on the clerics power, which lies in big healing
spells.

Maybe add another healing spell at 60th level - perhaps Divine Light (though
I'd rename it...)

Reduce the fizzle rate on druid healing spells at the 50+ level.

well shaman, druids, and paladins all got superior heal. they start giving
out better heal spells and clerics will cry foul.
