Just going to chime in on necro healing because I think this is often forgotten now that recourse dispelling is commonly known (I didn't know about it when I was actively raiding back in 2011).

Shadowbonds recourse cannot be overwritten by Pact of Shadows recourse, but pact will still land on a target (just can't stack shadowbond+pact on the same target).

Even if recourse dispelling gets removed, this mechanic is completely and legitimately classic meaning for an additional 10 mana you can heal a second target for 320 for absolutely no additional hp cost. What does this mean? This means 2 necros working in conjunction can shadowbond their patch targets and then Pact of Shadow each other completely eliminating the need to lifetap the lost health back and even making up for lost hp due to liching. For 20 total mana.

Furthermore. Post-Velious as long as you pick up Holgresh Beads you will always have a lifetap target and if you can get VP geared you'll have a mana-free lifetap DoT. Even without Holgresh beads, stalking probes are cheap. Talk about a model of efficiency. Being able to heal others for 820 hp every 30 seconds while generating 32 additional mana/tick with no worry of having low hp due to these transfers. Soul Well is one of the biggest item upgrades a necro could ever hope for.
This put it far better than I did. /applaud.
