so the theory I've heard is that any spell [rank] learned below level 20 gets the "lower-rank" nerf to +spell dam/heal.
Rank 1 Flash Heal is learned at character level 20.
the way +spelldmg works, the relative goodness of spells can shift a lot as +dmg grows. Nature's Wrath (druid ranged attack) can be improved in casting time from 2.0 sec to 1.5 sec. That means it benefits 33% more from +spelldmg than spells where casting time can't be improved.
The Priest is in the odd situation of having Smite improved a lot more that Mind Flay. First, Smite can be improved in casting time, giving a bonus on +spelldmg DPS. Second, Mind Flay gets a reduced benefit from +spelldmg, supposedly because it is also a snare ...
