Earlier this week, Blizzard announced more Mythic raid testing, and earlier this morning, hotfixes have been pushed to the PTR servers applying class tuning to the healer specs.
Edit: The Official Notes are here.
With hotfixes to the PTR that are now deployed, today we’ve made the following updates to healers in Curse of Ula’tek.

Restoration
Abundance increases critical chance of Regrowth by 60% (was 50%) and reduces cost by 60% (was 50%).

Evoker
Preservation
Developers’ notes: We’d like to reduce Preservation raid healing, as it has eclipsed other healers by a significant margin. At the same time, we’re increasing their triage healing through Verdant Embrace and Living Flame to help them out in dungeons where they are not overperforming.
