What about Power Word:Barrier?

New Talent: Soul Warding: Reduces the cooldown of your Power Word: Shield ability by 4 sec., and reduces the mana cost of your Power Word: Shield by 30%.

^^ That's where it went it looks like. You can get 5 shields up in the time it ussualy takes to cast 2 (ish, takes 1 second longer).

Although this talent isn't very flashy, its much better than Power Word: Barrier. PW:B seemed more like a gimmicky spell. When were you going to use it really? In 5s? It would have had a high CD and a high Mana Cost.

Soul Warding allows you to do something simmilar to PW:B (lots of shields in a short amount of time), while also controlling CDs, and improving the worst part of PW:S; the Mana Cost.

I'm guessing that the rage/mana/RP generation is to make Blessing of Sanctuary a little less mandatory for heroic raids.
