You make assumptions I dont agree with e.g. that you will take advantage of every SoL proc. Its not going to happen. Also you are forgetting the talents you have to drop to take SoL, what is it going to be. You are doing your modelling in isolation, which completely skews your results.

Perhaps we should wait to pass judgement on SoL until we see how its issues will be dealt with. It is almost certain that at the very least, clearcasts and SoL procs will not be consumed at the same time.

In general Rapture is a weird talent. On average 4600 greater heals, it returns 11-12 mana on 1/5, it returns 45-46 mana on 2/5, 103-104 mana on 3/5, 161-173 on 4/5, and 200+'ish on 5/5. (With 11460 Max Mana).

I wish Rapture would be PW:S and DA only (at a higher rate), or all healing spells. Discipline might be the only tree that gives bonuses to specific spells of another tree. It seems a lame precedent to set.

There are some bugs currently with Prayer of Mending apparently... the coefficient you list seems rather overpowered. The ability to crit and proc Divine Aegis is excellent, however. What about Surge of Light? It would also be nice if it could apply Rapture or Grace (see above point).

Borrowed Time however:
0/5 BT: 2184 Absorbed, Expected 2184
1/5 BT: 2552 Abs, Exp 2257
2/5 BT: 2478 Abs, Exp 2340
3/5 BT: 2405 Abs, Exp 2405
4/5 BT: 2331 Abs, Exp 2478
5/5 BT: 2257 Abs, Exp 2552

I see a pattern.... Can you? :P

Bizarro-world.
