This is a much needed change as raid healing had become a joke. CoH was the only raid-wide AoE spell we had, but as a single cast spell it was never going to cut the mustard on a 6s cooldown. Changing the base healing/mana cost to reflect the much longer cooldown should have been done when they changed the CD.

Prayer of healing was always a good spell for 5 mans, but as soon as you went into a raid environment its restriction of only hitting the people in your group made it much less useful. Some restrictions will need to be added, as this will be OP if it has the potential to hit everyone in the raid. I just hope they restrict the number of people it can hit and don't nerf the base healing into uselessness.

Power word barrier sounds awesome, though it will stop the trick of using shield to get 25% haste from borrowed time for a quick GH or PoH, then using shield on someone else for another 25% haste and so on. Though having everyone with weakened soul at the same time has its own merits.
