Even so... has anyone taken the time to observe this and have a ball park idea? Essentially, is it an unreasonable risk to be roughly 2-3k under the cap on a boss like Sathrovarr or Brutallus? Curious for the sake of set building. TY

Obviously the closer you get to the cap the less it matters if the buff drops off, but the main thing for me is that the proc is random - anything that eliminates that randomness is a good thing. As you say - there are side issues such as how much crit your Priest/Shaman(s) have and whether they have specced into that talent in the first place (although I don't know a great deal about Priest specs, I'm pretty sure that not all of mine have the talent). Also the proc is necessarily going to trigger more often off fast heals, which in the case of the Priests they are unlikely to be using when MT healing.
