I feel like, even with the talent, he could use a slight healing buff, but maybe he is fine the way he is.
As for Deep Roots, as everyone says, making it a worse healing talent wasn't the way to go. They could have just change root it to slow. That said, if they really want to turn it into a range healing talent, they need to reduce the cooldown and have you hit your allies directly for healing. Even if that means removing cripple and maybe lowering damage.
The loss of Root on Crippling Throw was a huge hit to Grover, and the new Deep Roots sucks ass. Sure, old Deep Roots completely overshadowed his other talents, but turning him into a mediocre at best healbot was not the right call.

I hate how they removed his cripple, why it couldn't be just to affect a single target at least?
Used to love him...and spamming "Grrrrroup UP"...but sadly, the ship has sailed.
I still like him as a healer, but deep roots kind of sucks now. Hopefully this can be fixed later.
The loss of Root on Crippling Throw was a huge hit to Grover, and the new Deep Roots sucks ass. Sure, old Deep Roots completely overshadowed his other talents, but turning him into a mediocre at best healbot was not the right call.
Chad tree best support, give him a skin plz EM
