Ice Barrier rank 1/1--I do not like this talent.  If and when I respec, I will get rid of it.  Either you don't need the barrier and everything is fine, or when you do need it, it is inadequate to rely on. Big bad level 60 mobs hit hard, and ice barrier won't help you much.  Don't bother with it.

With only one level 60 priest in the guild, barrier is going to keep your butt alive when you are being main healed by a shaman. Even when I'm on Aleri and have multiple mages to keep alive in raids, I have had to ask what mages have ice barrier and what ones don't so I can alternate shielding priorities. One fight I'll have a mage barrier himself/herself so I can shield the mages and warlocks that don't have that option and the next fight since barrier will probably be in cooldown, they get the shields too. It lasts long enough to keep the mages upright. As a healer, especially one that cannot shield, I love all mages that have this and know when to use it. There were some early raids where Aleri was the only priest for 4-5 AoEing mages/warlocks and couldn't possibly hit all of them with shields without completely sucking down my mana and do it before the fight started so I wouldn't draw early aggro from shielding folks. Ice barrier really helped out on that.
Intolerant monkey.
