I really think this is a case of just different playstyles. I hated the "new" holy nova on the test realms. Yes, it can deal some damage, but unless you've got quite a few mobs around it's just not worth the mana expenditure. With Aleri's current gear and a holy spec, she's got just under 6k. I can only cast seven holy novas before I'm drained of mana. That's it. If it cost slightly less mana (I'm not saying drop it to what it is right now), it might be worth it. 750 mana for that little healing and damage (unless you've got lots of critters around) just isn't worth it in my opinion except for certain situations. Of course, you and I have never seemed to agree on how to play a priest Mongo and Lum so I'm not surprised that we don't agree about this change.
