Thought I would add my two cents. Keep in mind that my fury is only lvl 33, so I dont know everything.

So far I absolutly love my fury. The HoTs are my favorite healing spells. To be honest when I group with other healer classes, they usually say that they dont have to heal much because of my HoTs and when they do heal it usually some nuker that got alittle carried away and got aggroed. The larger healing spells of some of the other priest types are very good for that aggroed nuker because they usually can only take 2-3 solid hits before they go down. But when healing a tank, the HoTs work great because you usually have a little extra time. I can usually cycle all three of my single target heals (including the HoT) constantly and not have much of a power drain. Now when nuking or DPS while healing the power does seem to go a good bit quicker. I do like however that we have a low cost DoT, which is handly in long fights when the nukers and tank are OOP. Dont plan on doing much if any melee attacking when in a group. You can, but I have been told by tanks that they can see when a MOB moves off of them better when its only the Tank in melee range (which makes sense). As far as soloing goes, I have few complaints. In dmg out vs. dmg in my fury is a bit weaker than a like lvl MOB, but again the HoT saves the day! I can usually solo 1 to 2 levels above me. And can usaually handle an add or two within that range. The adds do make me have to rest between fights, but if I dont get any adds I can usually head straight to the next fight with little or no rest. Hope that helps a bit!
