Please don't use chatroom abbreviations like "ofc". Mostly a good post, so only a warning - just try to avoid this sort of thing in the future. Thanks.

Also, for future reference: the word "I" should be capitalized.

I could see your argument if spellpower was a large chunk of our WotLK threat generation, but it's not. It's a nice extra that boosts stuff like Cons and Exo and buffs healing a bit, but right from the start it's definitely a secondary threat stat.

Spellpower being so weak for us now is exactly my point tough. A talent that converts stam (which will always be a main stat ofc) is nice and all, but it's tps boost is so little with the nerfed coeffs on SoV and SoR.
So depending on what other talents come, stuff like sanctified seals, reckoning etc might at some point in gear be better.

Point being with abilities that scale badly with spellpower (and i insist that ret having so much spellpower from sheath plays a huge part in the nerf) a talent that gives prot spellpower loses power.
Holy shield only scales with spellpower atm, but all other abilities scales with both now?

I'll see if i can steal that spreadsheet and change some numbers to see if i got a point or not. But basically AP scales better than spelldmg, thus making spelldmg talents rather weak.
