Because, everyone heals in raids with mouse, ie. shift-left button click. Same in pvp many times, and even if not, it is very hard to get advantage from it. Here is why:

Lets say you are strafing on circle. How do you push SWG button, while pressing A+W letter buttons AND pressing mouse right button and circleing it. Meaning, you have to stop anyway to target unit and pressing what ever healing button after pressed SWG.

Second example:

You in raid, running lets say deathwing. Yes it is easier cause you have to just run straight, but still you have to press W, push SWG button, then theres a pause cause you have to target unit, and press shift-left button for example to heal. No one can handle so much left-right side brain functionality seemlessly.

So, I wish someone would think smarter way to replace it, because I feel it would be powerful ability if correctly done. I might have ideas for that myself.

I keyboard turn with WSAD. Spiritwalker's Grace works fine with me.

For many healers there are times when keyboard turning is a skillful and smart thing to do. Maybe you should learn to keyboard turn

I have it bound to Shift-R which I do with my thumb and pinkie, which means I can carry on running while doing so. Strafing and turning I handle with QAED while I'm using my mouse for heals.

Easy :)

You gotta be freaking kidding me.

I hope he is kidding as well.

Still, it doesn't cover the fact that you're complaining about Spiritwalker. Because you can't press it or something. I mean honestly, your examples make it sound like you have one hand...

I have my spiritwalker bound to Shift+V and never had your issues.

It isn't a dumb ability, it's great.
As long as you make it work with your keybindings/marco's.
And that's not a hard thing 2 do.

It's not bad design on ability, it's just bad gameplay from you.
Having SWG on Shift+5 and never had an issue that I can't somehow press it and move at same time.

Not my problem. Just because you doesn't keyboard turn when you have to use SWG. Don't blame the spell, blame the player.

SWG is either of Shift+R or Shift + Mouse 6 for me.
The result is that if I'm currently running with the mouse, having say, a tank targetted, I can mouse-trigger SWG and run while casting with my keyboard hand.
If I am currently click-casting while moving with the keyboard, vice versa.

am I getting this straight? the op assumes all resto shamans are clickers and keyboard turners? there's absolutely nothing hard with press q-w-e for movement, use SWG on a keybind and heal with your mouse

Shrug. I just hit R to spiritwalk then I can just jump/cast everything without any problems... clicking is a hindrance which is a far bigger pain imo.
