Ok, as far as I know, its common knowledge that the mind pool will be healable in the CU. I've also found out that the reason it isn't healable now is, because it creates an infinate loop. It used to be healable in beta, but docs would never die because they could heal there mind to get back the mind they used to heal, which created the loop. So thats why they took it out.
Thinking about this led me to the conclusion that healing will no longer use mind, to eliminate this, instead healing will be considered a special and drain the specials bar. The problem with this, is it is going to really hurt buffing docs. If the drain is significant, it will limit the number of buffs a doc can do without resting to regenerate his specials bar.
I hope our new Doc Corro, whomever that may be (I've thrown my name in the ring), will address this issue with the CU dev team.

that's a good point, but that's also if healing does not use mind
granted it would probably be a "special ability" and as such it would use the special bar.... if that's the case and we're no longer using mind, then i would probably guess that buffing would probably use less special compared to how much mind it uses now.
keep in mind they are taking their time with this, and docs won't be forgotten, especially once it hits alpha and beta
