¹ The stats of  Mish'undare, Circlet of the Mind Flayer are worse than +64 healing power.  Mish'undare, Circlet of the Mind Flayer is only slightly worse if you value crit on the high end of the spectrum due to very slow kill times. Crit loses value in organized raid groups with fast kill times, which makes  Mish'undare, Circlet of the Mind Flayer an item you might want to skip and leave for your DPS only.
²  Shroud of Pure Thought and  Hide of the Wild are very close. If you don’t run into mana problems with your raid,  Hide of the Wild is better.
