Rj costs less mana and slightly less casting time than WG. That 25th target gets more raw healing from Rj than he would have from WG (about 3 times as much). In a raid where 6 people can get the full benefit, the Glyph wins.

I am not sure if this is correct.
The extra 2 seconds is one thing. The second thing to take into consideration is that WG does not heal on inital cast, but on next tick. And if you have the 2005 haste cap then it should tick about every 0.8 second.
Now that makes the loos in WG healing about 2.8seconds total. Which equals to around 3 ticks in total on 5 targets versus 6 targets.
Now even with 5 targets there would still be a 0.8sec delay before initial tick, so you get on average 2 ticks in into those 2 seconds.
Lets say each wg heals each target for 2000 within these 2 seconds That would be 10.000heals done in those two seconds. If you glyph for this, you would in essence loose these 2 seconds of hps, meaning you would gain 1 target and 2 ticks, 4000 healed extra, but then you would have to wait 2 seconds before re-cast.
If you glyph for 6 targets, you in essence get the same amount of ticks, but a longer cooldown of the spell, except you would do about 4000 less healed in the 2 seconds missing based on that you have 1 extra target vs you could recast wg and gain 2 ticks of 5 targets equal to 10.000 healed in those 2 seconds.
Sure you could heal more with rejuv, but that does not tick every 0.8 seconds with that haste cap, so overall you will loose HPS if you now glyph for WG.
In addition (from my own experience) I find myself waiting waiting for the WG counter to reset now because I don't wanna waste mana on casting 1 rejuv to do far less healing.
This imo leaves us druids in a problematic situation.
Since they have made WG-glyph so crap now, and the innervate glyph also is crap, we basicly sit there with a slot which we can not have a decent glyph in.
Personally I tossed in the innervate glyph, but it's a waste of space. There is really no other primary glyphs that would benefit healing.
I think reducing the healing of WG was ok, but increasing the CD was not.
