i'm not sure if it's /4 or /4.5 i think i've read both, formerly it was /5 +15By all accounts, there really hasn't been alot of good gear with spirit on it in BC yet. The problem is that gear with spirit, spirit is relegated to the 3rd or 4th stat. High spirit gear gets the shaft because they value spirit way too high and nerf your other stats. Not to mention the lack of diversity of gear to make unique spirit builds viable. We'll see another 3 drops of feral gear per raid boss like AQ, but I doubt you'll ever see gear that can take advantage of spiritual guidance and improved DS to up your dps and regen simultaneously.
Also, what does:
This mean?
Did they change your regen formula to spirit/4+13 like everyone else?

anyhow priests and mages had the faster regen, everyone else was /5

add to that the difference in spirit on sets/cloth items and it baffles me furtherI'm kind of wondering where they're going with healer mechanics. About the only thing going for priest regen over druids was spirit. Now I'm a little confuddled with 15% more spirit, reflection, and innervate. Even without the innervate, a druid should have more longevity. Don't take that as druid hate, blizzard just confuses the hell out of me on the direction of the priest class.
thats interesting because if some bluebie player wants to take treeform, he has to put 5 pts into a talent that will have 0 effect on them.From what I gather from Empowered healing from priests, you would receive 20% of your +healing (or +dmg/heal) gear. So in the case of priests, greater heal gets 106% of +healing gear and flash heal gets 53%. (instead of 43 and 86). I'm guessing since those are both 100% spells already, you will receive 120% from +heal. So basically 20% from the 1k. But your other talents like improved rejuv should add the post +healing value now.
Also if other 'improved xxx' talents stack I could see how it could be possible. You end up with huge modifiers. You'd have to fill in the base numbers, but (Base Rejuv + (spirit*.25+900healing)*1.2)*1.15*1.1*1.2.
My super gay Sword spec jew instant aggro gain spec.

Equip a fast set of swords and watch the MT try to keep up!
HOHOHO
PS: Rage generation will be high enough to negate TM IMO.
You can spec axes if you want, but the thought is that this is based on a constant stream of rage dumping via every means possible. Sword spec isn't for huge dps, it's to chain more hits and more crits and keep the pain train moving.
I mean MS was chosen simply because I find it consistantly yields higher numbers, but the 31st point is up to you, and with say the hakkari set and sword spec and flurry with say lifestealing enchants, or even 1 or 2 crusaders with Bloodthirst, the dps will be fantastic, and it'll just be fucking fun to watch. Your biggest problem will be in dumping the rage fast enough, which is where the HS spam comes, and the aggro jew title.
