For all more realistic fights, Spirit is even better. Obviously a balance is necessary, but I can confirm that with care a Spirit build Priest can cast dramatically longer than any other healer, especially with the 15% mana regen while casting talents.

<goggle> I'm following you, right up to the last part .... "For all more realistic fights, Spirit is even better" == you mean all your more realistic fights last more than 5 minutes?!?
you are also tilting the scales in your argument a bit by supposing a low mana burn rate.
er anyhow if I didn't already say it, I would like to point out that even though Spirit is pretty weak, it is most important just when mana is needed - that is, in long fights.
is there some rule here, or at least a rule of thumb: "If you have enough Int to last 2 minutes at a normal casting rate, then it's better to improve Spirit further rather than Int further."
anyhow my priest is working to get 15% regen and the Spirit buff in Discipline. I like the idea of spirit. I just want to be rewarded more for liking it. At my level, where a long fight is a minute, and I don't have super Int already, it's a crappy stat and Int is much preferred.
