Thanks for the responses guys. I've been messing around with things over the last couple of days, and I'm starting to get things sorted out. I'm starting to get a feel for barkskin, but unfortunately haven't run any instances yet - and I think that is where it will shine. (Still too busy sorting out various bits-and-bobs.)
Now this IS interesting. I was playing this morning (killing Gnoll Alphas in Feralas) and I noticed something with Omen. To the naked eye, not only does casting a spell when Omen has proc'ed NOT restart the 5 second timer, it actually seems to abolish it! I noticed this doing those nasty 3on1 pulls. I was laying down some starting fire before switching to bear, when Omen proc'ed. Since I was going to go bear anyway, I thought I'd slam a quick Moonfire down. (I needed to take down one of the three gnolls asap, so went damage over a quick refresh of regen.) Loandbehold, moonfire hits and my mana goes up! Having just cast 4 spells in quick succession there was no way I had run through the timer.
I'm about to jump back on, but I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this?
Thanks again for the responses. :)
