Firstly I am a fan of shielding to avoid casting delays, so I am not sure whether the benefit of taking Improved Flash Heal will be worth it when I shield if under attack or fade, and with such a short cast time, if you are hit, are you losing out on much?
Improved Flash Heal is a useful skill, because keep in mind that Shield can only be cast on yourself once every 15 seconds, and it doesn't take long for a mob to chew through your shield at high levels. I've found it particularly useful on the PvP server when fighting pesky rogues and warriors. I'm not saying it's the greatest talent since sliced bread, but it is useful.
Quote:Again the mana reduction for the other available skill of Improved Healing seems small compared to the investment.
It depends on your healing style and if you're willing and able to work Greater Heal into your healing repertoire. See my "Advanced Topics on Priests" post for more.
Quote:The Divine Spirit Talent for the Discipline Tree, seems a worthy skill to push through the whole tree for, something which is quite tempting to do, as are many of the skills located therein, but to do so I would have to sacrifice Improved Power of Healing and Redemption.
That's certainly another option. There's no one "best" way to distribute one's talent points -- which is a good thing.
