And 500 Spirit is an unrealistic amount to expect a buffed priest with healing gear to have. But what Spiritual Guidance does have going for it is that the longer the fight the more you benefit from it.

Well, crits and +healing do not affect the bonus from Spiritual Guidance, but they don't affect the bonus from Spiritual Healing either - for healing, percentage bonuses are applied first, then flat bonuses like +healing. So SG may give you less than 5-10% in practice, but then so will SH, which is what I was comparing it to.
As for the 500 spirit claim, I disagree. I have 460 spirit with raid buffs (including Kings), and that's with only 3 purples, and no spirit on my rings or cape. I think 350 spirit is very obtainable by any priest focusing on spit gear, and I have heard many reports of people hitting 450-500 when decked out in purples.
