Did PoM stop working through PW:S?

Used to be I could cast PoM on myself and it would heal me even when PW:S was up. Was this changed?

I honestly can't remember one way or the other.
PoM
I could see how absorbed dmg is still damage taken, and so a proc could occur. But like Valandilv, I seem to remember Disc healing where I'd have a PoM on the tank and a PW:S, but PoM would only proc when the shield was gone.
This is interesting, so please share more if you know more.

PoM has never worked through PW: S. You are mistaken. You have to
take damage
for the effect to activate.
Dead wrong. From 3.0 to 3.1 PoM has triggered right through shields.
To OP, yes, they finally put it back the way it was.
Yep, I seem to have a harder time healing now because I'm expecting PoM to trigger through the shield and I have to remember that it won't. Too bad...

As far back as I can remember while soloing with my priest, POM has never worked through shields. Certainly I could have missed this between 3.0 and 3.1. I'm fairly certain I would have noticed a retarded proc like that. What's the point of "healing" absorbed damage?

I've only ever healed as Disc, and as a liberal user of PoM, I can say for fact that it used to be consumed through shields in 3.0, but it is no longer doing so in 3.1.

Well of course that's how it's supposed to work. The truth of the matter is that
hits to the recipent who had both PW:S and PoM would trigger PoM regardless of all damage being absorbed by PW:S
prior to 3.1. Since the Ulduar patch, they fixed it so that it makes sure that the person loses hp before it triggers the PoM heal.
In otherwords,
Pre 3.1 - PoM would trigger without looking at absorbs
Post 3.1 - PoM triggers when the hp is lost, not when damage is taken/absorbed.
Sadly, it still doesn't work on lifetapping warlocks.

So yeah. Let's not dwell on what it USED to be like... We can all agree that it no longer does (if it used to) and that this is more appropriate.

Yup - was a bug for a while and drove me mad. Glad they fixed it. Was a waste of mana to shield AND PoM on the same target before.

During a pull, you shield the tank, PoM, and take a couple seconds break. It was much easier to manage heals/mana usage this way. If I was in a decent UK pug (my priest is 73),
I would rarely get below 90% mana this way even chain-pulling trash.
