I think Blizzard heard you, Chris – Soul Warding now reduces mana cost by 15% only, instead of the 30% we got for the last two weeks :-( Oh well, it WAS too good to last;-P

“Is the Disc Priest already Shielding? No? You need a new Disc Priest.”
I lost it here. XD

I know! I am weeping bitter, bitter tears of anguish. We're also getting nerfed on Divine Hymn and Glyph of Mass Dispel. “Wait, we made Discipline priests worth playing? Better fix that.“
In seriousness, though, 15% is still better than nothing, and we still get the 1-second cooldown, so I'm not entirely distraught. :)

One of my biggest pet peeves is to go to shield someone, and to have the Holy or Shadow Priest already shield them. It makes BT and Rapture cry and me want slap someone. I've earned the nickname “Bubbles” for a reason! BACK OFF my shields!!!!
