While the tooltip of the spell still says "2% Chance" I believe that this meta was changed in 2.3 to be 5%. Both Thott and Wowhead list the same, both being 5%. If it was changed this meta-gem seems significantly more valuable.

I see modeling the gem as a passive mp5 helps to simplify things, but spells/minute tends to vary widely, particularly as a healer. It seems to make more sense to me to model the effect as a flat -mana cost to each spell, -6 if its 2% or -15 if its 5%.
