I’m a ‘go to church every week plus a few times drniug the week’ kinda special and I almost died laughing the first time I heard my pastor drop the f bomb. I also tell him he’s probably going to hell when he does things that piss me off… but I was his assistant for many years so I think it’s my perogative.And this marriage thing sounds really awesome of you, what a great thing to volunteer your time doing!

I agree – I think they’re very keen to attract players to healing in general. I think a few hybrids are seeing that the next iteration of talent trees also give more options for healers and seem less interesting for damage dealers.

Reserving judgement sounds like a sensible approach

I am reserving judgment till I see a list of class and spec spells. Until then you just have the pencil sketch of the picture they are painting. They could give us all the good stuff base and want to make us choose our utility and extra healing goodies in the talents.

Will be nice when healing heroics.

I concede the point regarding Mind Spike – its usage in doing dailies (MSx3, MB, SW:Death) is very powerful, and this is how it’s used in PvP as well. Gear levels have skyrocketed to the point where multi-dotting and running circles may come in vogue again as well. ^_^

One of the things I am worried about is that priests are, indeed, typified as healers. The other day I had a personal encounter with this, as some misguided person chided me for being a Shadowpriest and hogging DPS gear. While his acrid fumes were most likely triggered by a particular staff I had equipped at the time, it did get me thinking.

Such pidgeonholing is effectively encouraged by almost everything in the game. Shadowpriests use healing gear to DPS mostly because Blizzard wanted healing priests to be able to off-DPS more easily. Not a word about turning our Hit rating into healing stats, there.

And as I said before, it’s reflected in the new talent trees as well. We have to pick between half-chewed utility spells we likely can’t use without dropping Shadowform, healing (which we are unlikely to do), or even more self-damage mitigation. In reverse, healing priests get a few nice Shadowy goodies for free.

Best example of the latter: Vampiric Dominance.
Shadowpriest: I hurt my enemies, so I heal my allies with it.
Healer: I heal my allies, so I heal my allies with it. (what?!) Oh and it also works when I smite.

But fortunately, we are more of our own “style of priests” then when we were the PvP talent tree tacked onto the Holy priest.
