What does Heart of the Wild actually do for Boomkins? - Brown Deer

As a Balance Druid, the level 90 talent Heart of the Wild tooltip says the following:

When activated, dramatically improves the Druid's ability to tank, deal melee damage, and heal

That's pretty ambiguous, especially considering I'm using the advanced tooltips for all my other abilities.

When I activate the skill, I see a buff that says "Healing ability and effectiveness in Cat Form and Bear Form increased." Except, I'm Balance so I'm not quite sure how that helps. The only visible effect I noticed was that my Healing Touch mana cost was reduced to 0.

I tried looking up the skill on wowhead and found three different versions, which still leaves it a little ambiguous as to the exact effect of the talent.

What benefit does Heart of the Wild grant a Balance Druid?
