Well, if the proc rate is actually 0.35 and you have a additional 0.35 chance of proccing a dupe off of a proc, you'd expect to see an overall proc total of (0.35 + 0.35 ^ 2) * 100 = 47, so your...

PW:S has a 3-sec CD in the beta, so soul warding is still good. The 3-sec CD, plus being able to spec into borrowed time, plus body and soul makes holy priests fairly happy with this build as well.

Looks like a bug to me. But it's not much of a bug, since that should (if I understand the casting engine) just act as if the second CoA wasn't there.

A lot of this also has to do with whether or not the raid has enough replenishment. If the FG gets the replenishment buff enough, I find he tends to stay reasonably mana-full. If not, not.
