So its bursting again this week, and i hate that affix so much. Please let me know how u handle it. How many stacks are u able to deal with before it turns into 
? What tricks are u using to manage this? Give me all your bursting secrets!
Been awhile since I healed during bursting but Hightide + Chain heals on a stacked group used to work well. My group tries to not go above 5 stacks.
Try to prepare for each bursting. Have cloudburst/healing totem up and running. Healing rain too if possible. Right before damage hits start casting chain heal and keep spamming it during the duration. Spirit link if it gets really bad.
If some dps is too far away and don’t get heals you heal them if you got time, otherwise focus on the rest.
And maybe most important if you cannot keep up - tell your dps to slow down 
Yeah we always stop at 5’ish stacks, but that slows us down quite a bit. I need to get better at using the cloudburst for sure, do u use a weakaura or something to track it? rest sounds much like what i already do, only problem is when ppl start running away when mobs die and then go out of reach for me 
Gonna sound too simple: they shouldn’t run away instantly - their problem. Adapt to the group.
And well, chainkilling is disastrous, either let the debuff fade away or kill a bunch at the same time while you are all topped off.

I feel like its better to wait 4 seconds instead of risking people dying or having a group wipe. There are probably exceptions tho.
I only track the healing saved in cloudburst, which doesnt really change how I play. I am not great at cloudburst either. It usually just heals on its own. But with Echo talent you can pretty much spam Cloudburst anyway so I just put it down as often as possible.
People really shouldn’t run off asap after combat unless theyre pretty much full hp. They may not be aware of their hp or debuff. I guess a friendly (or not so friendly 
) reminder is in order if that happens.

Cloudburst + chainheal spam and Earthen Wall totem. I myself use astral shift when off CD. So far no big issues. On big pulls I feel like Dory from Finding Nemo just keep spamming, just keep spamming, just keep spamming!

How many stacks are u able to take?
Yesterday I had 7 and 8 stacks in ML. Used Orc racial and Spiritwalker’s Grace and kept on spamming as a tard. With 5 stacks, it’s annoying but not that big of a deal that other affix where people need to stay above 90% hp is way more annoying. If you are x sec too late or the group takes damage the dot doubles or even triples.
But then again I must say I’m quite anal about keeping everyone at 100% so when the bursting of 5, 6 or 7 happens it’s 70-98% of their HP. So they will still live.

Your group has to eighter let the debuff reset or kill the mobs as fast as they can so the debuff lasts only as long as needed. So they should stop if every stack is doing 2-3 ticks.
Normally you can heal thro 4-5 stacks without any problems. If you are running the talent which increases chainheal cast times you shouldnt spam cl. You should cast between every cl a healing surge on the most injured member to get maximun value.
If your group has a dk or pala for example you can burst bug groups with 10+ enemys. Set spiritlink and let dk cast bonestone for example. Communication is the key.
Overall bursting is kinda an easy affix if your group is going to play it right. If you wipe its most likely not your fault as a healer. If you are doing high keys and everyone wants to time the key, you should can expect your dds to use healing pots which negate a lot.
