1003 casts of Flash of Light
Time spent casting: 31:05
Total Procs: 21 - 6300 mana returned

6300 / 1865 = 16.89mp5
21 / 1003 = 2.09% proc chance

I'm not entirely sure on the accuracy on the Intervals for Recap, however this is independent of that. Also to note is the closest interval was 5seconds

What I did find interesting was my Flash of Light crit rate was 9.33% higher than my Character Sheet. I'll just chalk it up to data sample size.

I think this might be true. I tend to get a lot of noticable procs with this with Circle of Heal. I've also noticed it proc off of Prayer of Mending too.

That in mind, its really quite amazing. Most of my paladin friends are clocking a proc every minute minimum, and often more. The rest of us(non paladins, that is) will probably see slightly less in terms of result, just based on number of casts, but even still its quite good. Additionally, while I haven't seen the behavior myself, someone mentioned to me that "after cast"(for lack of a better way to word it) effects are also triggering the gem(Illumination, inspiration, etc.). I'll certainly be keeping an eye out for more of the same, but at the least, the procrate itself is improved.

From looking at my own logs I don't believe it ever had a cooldown. Even back on 4/26 I have instances of it hitting 17 seconds apart. I haven't seen anything to indicate that this gem has changed, everything points to this being as simple as the spell data would indicate - 2% chance on cast. Fast-casting Paladins will see it a lot more, as a Shaman with mostly 2.5 second cast times I see about 2-5 procs in a 10 minute period.

In all the fights I've checked I usually get about 3 procs per 10 minutes (7.5 mp5), all my WWS data is similar to DarKNecross's post above.

Here's something really interesting that happened to me in Black Morass the other night:

I also reccomend putting this in your sct_event_config.lua file: (after Windfury)

Why do you hate snakes?

As a paladin I love my Insightful ESD. 2% chance to restore 300 mana is an insane deal, especially since I spend my time spamming a < 1.5s cast spell (less than, from Heroism, Spell Haste trinket, etc). I really don't see any of the others being worth it.

Bracing: More heal is nice, but I have never seen threat reduction ever necessary for a healer in the entire game, EXCEPT nightbane.

Destructive: 14 spell crit is about +1%? So equal to about 2.7 mp5, roughly 3 mp5? 3 mp5 gives 300 mana in 500 seconds, and I'm sure in that time I can get the Insightful to proc at least twice, if not many many more.

500 seconds = 500 /1.5 = 333 casts.
E(x) 333 * 0.02 = 6.66 = ~7 procs = 2100 mana restored in that time with this

As for the spell reflect, that's such a pitiful chance to happen that the rare instance you WILL be hit will not matter because it will probably be a 200 damage AOE or something silly

Mystical: 5% chance to have your 1.5s cast become 0.75. You're still limited by GCD.

Powerful: This might be decent for arenas where you want to stack stam and stun resists never hurt, but I have about 10k in arena, buffed, with almost all Kara epics and 1 merciless piece; good gear but not extremely impressive. I would be so bold to say that I am not hurting so much that I can dump the money into another meta gem, on another healing helm, just for arena and a little more stam.
