The complete formulas use to be exposed in the lua code released with 2.0 and 2.1. They have since hidden it behind a function called GetUnitManaRegenRateFromSpirit("unit"). However, the old...

Will need to do some more testing, but it appears the ending heal on lifebloom is no agro to anyone. But I need to setup some much better controlled tests of this.
