How many shelter items vs overloaded heal items

I am still trying to piece together the best equipment a MT mystic should have who si raiding t1/t2.

I have got the following 7 OH items currently equipped and was wondering if that is overkill. When AOE's hit one heal is enough to bring the group upto full health but I was thinking maybe 1/2 shelter items would be better for the actual tank.

I am not 100% sure on how shelter works honestly, I presume it can crit just like a heal and alsoif its not used that it gets converted into a heal afterwards.

Does anyone know what happens if you have multiple shelter items? I presume it doesnt stack?

Anyway here's the pieces I was thinking of switching around:

Currently wearing:

Thinking of switching to:

Now I know there is another Shelter item for you helm slot but I see myself getting the Rune Etched Helm from SOH soon so I am not too concerned about that.

But maybe temporary switch the following:

For the

The other switch was to be my +1heal crit boots with for the Boots of Somber Promises.

Does anyone have any opinions here i'm kind of undecided, I know a few of my current pieces are leather and thats not ideal but I do love the OH items, I just dont know if eplacing a few of them with Shelter items would be better overall for healing the MT.

Yeah i'm nearly done with that quest line, its going to be a nice replacement for the treasured Steelbark Wristwrap.

OK quick search has shown that these dont really stack so I think I will go for the boots and keep my OH BP, least that way I have one Shelter item and my boots are crap anyway.

Shelter items do not stack, but they can refresh the duration of an existing proc. Wear just one Shelter item (Shelter, Runic Cover, etc.), but try not to on a slot that you could wear an Overloaded Heal item instead. Also, don't choose feet as your slot for Shelter! The Oiled Leather Boots from the Charasis: Maiden's Chamber instance are too good not to use. The Holy Halo of the Creator looks like the best choice until you get a Runic Cover item.

I like this set up, although I gave up my shelter bp for the casting reduction robe, and I like it better. With overloaded heal items and the Rune helm I always have something proccing.

Do we have a discussion anywhere about Heal crit vs. Heal mod?
