For the spells I've tested, the exceptions to the 'next rank + 5' rule that I've found are:

Greater heal rank 4, 69 (expected 65).
Greater heal rank 5, 70 (expected 68; this is the AQ20 rank).
Heal rank 4, 45 (there's no next rank of this)
Flash heal rank 7, 67 (expected 66)
Renew rank 9, 67 (expected 65; next rank is the AQ20 rank)
Bokomatic in the shaman forum has observed a similar problem with certain shaman spells.

The discussion starts on this page with post #839: How to Heal like a Pro

I've suggested that we get a separate thread going in the class mechanics forum to take a closer look at this issue.
