I wasn't sure where I stood with ToT at the time I wrote this. It feels baseline to me because the Greater Heal and Inner Focus integration. Almost every priest I know also uses Greater Heal more than me (I think I may be the only person in the world who baby's my mana enough to cast Heal regularly) so I just assume no priest would skip it. I could see myself skipping it though.

For Soul Warding I definitely see where you're coming from, but I'll never drop it. The simple act of being able to drop three shields on three tanks in tandem is too important to me. I could spread them out, but if I'm the only disc in raid, I will often strategically let weakened soul fall off without immediately reapplying a shield if I know there is some incoming wave of damage. Halfus' knock down, for example. I definitely think shield spamming is dead but I think the ability to blanket shields for specific mechanics in a fight is one of the strongest things disc can do. Much like Holy queuing up a PoH for incoming damage. We might not spam shields from start to finish, but we might do it on 5 targets at 3 points in a 9 minute fight, and if that's the case, I'll take the two talent points. =)
