Thanks for a very nice article, which complements and reinforces what i've experienced myself.
couple of things:
- I'd love to have a recap of HP/m and HP/s at a typical current gear level (full 264 ?), for the different chakras. I'm sure that info is interesting enough to ... everyone... to warrant a post ?
- holy word:chastise has been bugged for ages, and can't be macroed.
- indeed, Atonement seems MIA... what are the PTRs for, Blizzard ?

I would also like to see a comparison of the hps/hpm provided by the different chakras, as well as just a list of heals by hpet. Anyone know where I can find one?

Not sure why everyone keeps saying atonement is broken - I heal 5mans almost exclusively though smite/atonement and bubbles. It's a bit annoyingly random who it heals, but it does work! It is hit and miss about showing up on my scrolling combat text sometimes though. Didn't see much use when raiding tonight unfortunately, as I have yet to find gaps to smite in.

Atonement was broken for quite a while (in Europe, at least). It worked for a few hours on patch day, then broke for the rest of the week. I paged the GMs about it and got a response to say the devs were working on a fix. It was fixed by the weekend so I had chance to have a bit more of a play with it. It's very... interesting. I feel like I *should* be using it, as it's really the major change we've got as Disc priests, but I can't get comfortable with it.
I've tried with both smite glyphs (+hit and +damage) so I'm getting some reliable healing out of it (about 5-8k, ish) but it seems to take about half a second between the smite hitting and the Atonement proc. That feels like a lifetime when you're trying to practise your target prioritisation and don't want to be overhealing the target who's just about to get the proc.
Also, Greater Heal seems to be next to worthless now. It's healing for less than a Flash Heal and takes so much longer. I didn't used to use it often but it used to be so satisfying to get a tank from less than 50% health up to full in one spell.
I haven't tried Holy yet, although I imagine the throughput from PoH chakra must be very useful for phase 3 Prof, etc.
