Chloroblast and NT have almost the exact same efficiency of heal-to-mana. With a GCD cooldown item like star of eyes or shrunken gob ear, you can cast 2 chloro's in a little more than the time it takes to cast 1 NT. You do not need lvl 60 to heal, you need lots of mana and you need to sit between heals.

When you are in a healing role - heals, mana free snares and sitting should be what you're doing. And saving bacon with roots if hell breaks loose, clicky regen if you have spare mana. Only DS the tank when you don't have a slower, otherwise its likely a waste of mana if you're the main healer. And if you're 50+ with no slower, you're in trouble anyways.
