Source post

  • Twilight Focus : Formerly Healing Focus . Now grants pushback protection on all spellcasts, but costs 3 talent points instead of 2.
  • Blessed Recovery : Now also triggers from any attack that deals more than 30% of your maximum health in a single hit.
  • Inspiration : Now triggers from all non-periodic critical heals.
  • Improved Healing : Now also reduces Mana cost of Penance and Prayer of Mending .
  • Searing Light : (Redesigned.) Now increases all Holy damage done but by a lesser percentage. In addition, it now grants a chance for Holy Fire damage to make your next Holy Nova cost no Mana.
  • Binding Heal : (New 16-point gold medal talent.) New spell with no cooldown. Heals the Priest and their current target. No cooldown, 1.5 second cast. Tuned to be as good as Flash Heal even if the Priest needs no healing.
  • Litany of Light : Each time you cast a healing spell, you are refunded part of its Mana cost if the name of the spell is different than the previous healing spell you cast.
  • Spiritual Guidance : Bonus to spell damage reduced to approximately one third as much as the bonus to spell healing.
  • Spiritual Healing : Now only needs 3 talent points for the same benefit.
  • Prayer of Mending : (New 31-point gold medal talent.) Spirit of Redemption required. 10 second cooldown. Places a spell with 30 second duration on the target that heals the target the next time they take damage or receive non-periodic healing, consuming a charge. Then the spell jumps to another nearby party or raid member within 20 yards. It continues jumping until it heals a total of 5 times. Each target may only have one Prayer of Mending active.
