we can suspect a nerf like this will come. We'll see. Spirit will be a cut above other stats.

It did come. And yes, I doubt anyone will wear plates without spirit anymore.

I'm not sure you take the 12% base aborb shield into account (with 0 mastery rating).
1500 mastery will add 8.36 mastery which is 12.54% additionnal absorbing shield that means your illuminated healing will absorb 24.54% of your healing.
I'm not sure your numbers are accurate.

According to the logs, on fights with around 100% activity, the uptime of Power Torrent for me is around 25%, so the proc chance and ICD considering 12sec duration seems to be very accurate. No idea about Heartsong however, as nobody uses that one anymore.

Heartsong is currently used by quite a large amount of players and is regarded far superior to Power Torrent.

From our last Baleroc (heroic) kill which lasted 5 minutes (a bit slow but we had some alts in the raid), I had 99.7% activity and Heartsong was up for 58.4% of the time.

While i cant comment on the number of people using heartsong vs power torrent, heartsong being superior is going too far. Back in 4.0/4.1 someone on the resto shammy thread mathed out the 2 enchants and found power torrent came out ahead. this is mainly due to the fact that assuming one has all availible raid buffs, replenishment/kings/Arcane brilliance/and such, the mana regen is higher than heartsong. Add to that PT also gives a boost to spellpower thereby increasing the amount healed it beat heartsong especially on healer classes like pallies and priests that have a regen cooldown based on maximum mana.
However, with the new changes to seal of light and the 60ish% uptime heartsong may now be almost equal in terms of mana regen. Plus with the higher gear levels now going into 4.3 the benefits of either enchant is no longer what it was, useful yes but no longer as important.
To summerize, get the enchant you like and feel more comfortable playing with.

Incorrect. Heartsong provides more regen to paladins; shamans preferred heartsong due to manatide and even when divine plea is used with power torrent, heartsong provides more regen. Go back through this thread and check the math done on the subject. Its also fairly fast to do yourself.

From a regen perspective, PT is only better when you sync the proc with divine plea every time, which is simply not possible every time DP is off CD. And if you delay DP to sync it with a PT-Proc, you'll lose regen. So only under perfect circumstances PT beats Heartsong from a regen point of view.
And don't forget the changes to spirit regen in 4.3, where heartsong then will beat PT even under perfect circumstances.

Plus, you can't rely on the proc, it can come to a situation not needed, so the benefit from the extra spellpower can just be wasted, where the extra regen from heartsong will always be a benefit as long as you don't sit on 100% mana, something, which should simply not happen.

My calculations using 7400 Int and 3150 Spirit, which seems quite reasonable at the beginning of the content using a 2nd Int Trinket as Shard is nerfed.

Basically we trade off about 70 Spirit vs. 150 Spellpower and 38 Crit if you average out everything.

------------------------------------------
Base Values:     Int: 7400 | Spirit:  3150

Summary (Using AVG Values):

Technically, averaging PT int and then calculating mp5 is wrong - avg(sqrt(int+ptint)) is less than sqrt(int+avg(ptint)), but the effect is miniscule.

You're right. In the example above the mistake is 0.5 mp5 in favor of pt, maybe ill find the time to correct the script
