Saphiron blows goats

Well last night saw my first attempt at healing Saphiron (sp?) and it sucked. I hear tell that they just buffed this boss to make him more of a challenge. He doesn't seem to be too difficult but somehow we just didn't put it together. On one attempt we took him to about 20% which did heaps to bolster our confidence but to no good return as we never downed him. Healing didn't seem to be as much of an issue, but low dps due to constant moves was as well as me not having frost resist gear.
Cabela has graciously volunteered 3 orbs to make the gear but I have to come up with a boatload of other mats.
In more interesting news, my cat dps set is coming along nicely with 2 epics and the remainder comprised of rep items and instance blues between levels 175 and 200. Oddly enough I think I want to spec moonkin though. I like this idea because it's ranged dps which has less problem switching from target to target and I have to move around and reposition much less. Not to mention AOE spell damage which works better than cat swipe.
My moonkin set is only slightly behind my cat set so I think I could do well in heroics already. We'll see what comes of it. Guilds tend to not like healers that respec dps. They will still think of me as healer and if I want to raid, they will assume I intend to respec. It sucks. I think I'm suffering from Duesbout-itis. I'll never be vocally pissy like he was but that doesn't mean I don't feel the same.
Overall I think it will be a nice change as it brings 5% spell crit and 4% increased damage from spells.
In other recent breaking news, I was part of a 2 healer team on malygos and we had some great attempts but never brought phase three together. It seemed surprisingly easy but...
