The
Soul Preserver
.
Not much to look at. Only iLevel 187-blue. And yet, some people seem to swear by this trinket. (See the comments... especially,
this comparison!
)
I was curious if any of you have experience with it? I picked it up yesterday and am a little curious to test it out.

That was a comparison for druids
It's almost useless for a shaman
Why would that be? Reduction in cost is reduction in cost, across the board. That particular link was to a Druid's comparison, but Shamans do weigh in favorably elsewhere.
Similarly, the
Spark of Hope
, from Ulduar. Spirit is currently worthless for us... but will not be in Cataclysm, in the least. And, it's a straight reduction per spell casting, across the board.

You make a very good argument.
What about the Spark of Hope? I still find myself intrigued with this one. (My Warlock got it, as a greed drop, and I wish like hell that I could transfer it over!)

42 less mana on every spell or a few hundred mp5 from a combination of solaces and sliver. Not to mention those other trinkets have spellpower while spark has *spirit*. Which, for the next half year at least, continues to be utterly worthless for us.
That's really not a difficult choice to make.
42 less mana,
per casting
, without a cooldown. If I toss out 5 Lesser Healing Waves, they fire off at slightly less than one second each, with a GCD of around 1 second. So, in ten seconds I have saved -- which is the same as gaining -- 210 mana. That equates to 105 MP/5. Not too shabby. And, you don't have to pause to activate a trinket... this cheaper casting is up and active, 100% of the time.
Given that mana is going to be much more of an issue for us, as healers, I'm looking to prepare for what's coming. We see it coming. I'm going to see if I can mitigate some of those concerns with something that'll potentially help me.
And.... not every one of us has two Solaces, burning a spot in our trinket slots. That would definitely be nice.
