Why would Arcane Torrent grant holy power?
It's a racial! Wouldn't that be fairly overpowered?

This isn't really healer related but mana classes and manaless classes work fairly different.

Mana classes mana determines how long they can keep casting without going OOM (not counting arcane mage mastery).
Manaless classes consume their resources much faster than mana classes. When was the last time you cast a spell that cost 60% of your mana bar? On the flipside they generate their resources (and in case of warriors and death knights start out empty) much faster than mana classes.

So for a mana class Arcane Torrent just means increased longevity, for a manaless class it means slight extra burst damage every 2 minutes. Of course Arcane Torrent is most powerful in PvP where its 2 sec silence is killer.
