Energy orb has been my self heal for all my solo builds since 1.6, and as someone who uses it day in day out, I can tell you that if you think this is in anyway a good (let alone OP) group heal, you're dead wrong. Don't believe me? Go ahead and try having your raid spam it, it's trash compared to Healing Springs. The thing that makes it good for my solo spec is that I use it on sword/shield while blocking inside the orbs.
All of this is moot however in 2.1; the nerf to blocking & healing make Energy Orb trash even for solo play. I've had to go back to resto staff and Rapid Regen.
I hope you know it's nothing when compared to Sap Essence in a large group/pack.You can cast multiple each one the heal will stack.
Example - 1 orb 600 HPS 2 orbs 1200 HPS. Each orb will heal you. (me and a buddy both spamed them and had 11k healing per sec)
This will be insanely broken for large scale.
