Couple things...
*New Talent* Improved Flash Heal, Tier 7, 3 point talent - Reduces the mana cost of your Flash Heal by 5/10/15%, and increases the critical effect chance of your Flash Heal by 4/7/10% on friendly targets at or below 50% health.
The reduced cost will help Disc in its mana longevity.
The crit is pretty damn nice as well (understatement).
The mana cost reduction is nice, but I don't really find myself Flash Healing people below 50% very often. Especially the tank, and if I heal someone
other
than the tank he'll lose my Grace.
Meditation (Tier 3) now increases mana regeneration by 17/33/50%. (Previously 10/20/30%)
This should help with regen a little bit. Perhaps will offset the loss from Rapture a tad.
Not really - it's not a buff. It's to offset the oo5sr regen nerf by bringing i5sr regen back to normal. I5sr regen is going to be what it is now.

I just tested it on the PTR and it seems that either Blizzard has forgotten to change it, it's bugged or the patch notes are wrong. Currently all targets keep Grace for 15 seconds.
If it stays this way...Grace could become even more useful.
Did you notice any changes with Power infusion?
Power Infusion: This effect now has a new spell effect and sound.

Also what they might be referring to if if you try to cast PI on a arcane mage when they have
Arcane Power
active you get the whole "More Powerful Skill is Active" so maybe you can cast both buffs at the same time.
Holy Concentration re-designed: Mana regeneration is increased by 16/32/50% for 8 sec after you
critically heal
with Flash Heal, Greater Heal, Binding Heal or
Renew
.
News Flash (reading between the lines): Renew will be able to crit. Great for Discipline with Divine Aegis as well as holy.
I'm liking it.
I'm pretty sure they are referring to the new
Empowered Renew, Tier 9, 3 point talent - Your Renew spell gains an additional 5/10/15% of your bonus healing effects, and your Renew will instantly heal the target for 5/10/15% of the total periodic effect.
so on that first cast where it heals for 15% can crit, but you can't get both DA and Emp.Renew so maybe renew ticks can crit now like DoT ticks can crit now.
Just to clear something up with rapture for the Disc priests. At Maximum rank (3/3) the tooltip reads
When your Power Word: Shield is completely absorbed or dispelled you are instantly energized with 2.5% maximum mana, and you have a 100% chance to energize your target with 2% total Mana, 8 rage, 16 energy or 32 Runic Power.
I honestly don't think this is going to be as bad as we had suspected. 2.5% of my maximum mana is 500. and thats pretty much the cost of the shield. Stacking Int will just be the same as before. so i don't think there is any real reason to worry.
Well the thing that is making people worry is the fact it no longer returns mana for actually healing a target anymore.
I'm about to say screw it with the speculation and just wait for when the patch hits live to even think about it.

I disagree on the issue of only the deep holy Emp. Renew talent critting. Blues have mentioned for a while that they needed to change Renew to make it useable, and specifically mentioned making the ticks able to crit.
Either way it's an awesome change.

Absolutely. It seems kinda like a reverse Lifebloom, doesn't it?

Well considering shadowform granted DoT's to crit, i think that somewhere down this PTR, unless they plan on making renew crit from the start, SoR might have an additional function to allow renew to crit.
If it's not the case and it crit baseline...then omfg. my renew already hits for 1700 unbuffed...

I'm thankful they changed grace like that. That should work out much better than the "one target" junk.
