I believe I'm going to pickup Glyph of Renew and drop Glyph of Penance since I'm using it less and less. The Prayer of Healing two-piece T8 bonus proccing aegis and the HoT from the glyph of PoH are the majority of the heals. Penance is only 15%. Renew is 10%, unglyphed.

It's a hassle during PvP but that's my only complaint. The only time I grit my teeth is when the tank has taken a bunch of damage suddenly and I need to heal him up quicker than my other spells. I'm actually kind of happy that we now have a reason to do more than spam two spells. I *like* having more things to do. I even started throwing up dots when no healing needed to be done simply because it was more to do. My main is a pure DPS class so I'm used to having lots of things to cast, lots of things to monitor. Having more to do on my healer is fun! I’ve gotten used to the change for the most part.

Now it seems more natural again because I've gotten used to it. @Gynx You're the only Disc Priest I know of that doesn't use Glyph of Penance! :O @Celine Yeah, I’m also guilty of getting the “Spell Not Ready Yet” message for the first few raids.

@Gynx You’re the only Disc Priest I know of that doesn’t use Glyph of Penance! :O

I've been so used to just staring at the unit frames and healing without looking at my bars, having everything just naturally timed in my head so that I didn't have to see if a spell was ready or not... Getting that message that my spell wasn't ready yet was jarring. What I've done to compensate has been to either spam Flash Heal instead or if they're going down faster than I think they should be I cast Power Word: Shield, Renew, then Flash Heal... it seems to work pretty well since I'm glyphed for my bubble to heal. I seem to have more time to throw Renew on everyone else as well. The change in the CD was annoying but was easily worked around, really... and maybe has made things go a little bit more smoothly for me. I've not yet seen the need to glyph for the lower CD on Penance. I’m a creature of habit so the change in the CD really threw me off.

For me it was mostly about doing more PW:S either on the offtank or the rest of the raid, and also Flash Heal on the offtank (i tend to be healing both our tanks for 10 man raids so i guess this just means i have more time to switch between both with the new CD) and just try to keep renew on both tanks to fill in the gaps specially on fights when interrupts can happen. PoM also helps, in the end is just a matter of using more of our healing spells rather than just spam Penance and PW:S. I def agree they should have just changed the glyph and not the spell itself (unless they have plans for tweaking it again for next patch.... never know) but i've gotten used to it already and i'm guessing most Disc Priest have as well.
