Toss two priests in with three mages and watch them aoe the mother out of everything with priests providing both damage and healing at the same time. I'm going to make sure to bring my +damage/healing gear along with my ZHC to raids just for these opportunities.

Because the mana efficiency is ungodly bad. You have to hit all 5 people in the party with the heal to make is efficient as a flash heal now.
You have to hit 4 critters I think with the damage to make it as efficient as a smite. I think once all the priests get past the "ooo fun new toy" side of it and really start seeing how rare the situation where it actually makes things faster, safer, or better is that they'll start dropping it for a point somewhere else.
It's even more situational and less useful than the old holy nova now.
