Except now, with no limit on how much SP you gain, it isn't exactly useless on fights where your Frost Warding procs and absorbs all the damage. Since boss magic damage is always so high, that 5% really was a limiting factor before.

The way I see this, they are trying to take a function of the current arcane spec and make it into a more skill/fun implementation, rather than "Bring disc priest kthxlol". I am sad that the pre-potting strategies won't work any more, but for any fight where we COULD use our frost/fire ward (or even magic shield), it now no longer becomes a choice between whether we should waste a GCD or not, because with no damage cap you WILL ALWAYS WANT TO. They're making this a clear preference talent: you either take some other pure dps talents, or take IA and situationally rock out with tons of extra spellpower from standing in fire on purpose.
