Quoted from Perfecthair on the priest forums. I have from a reliable source that these are changes about to go into effect on the beta server and are on the devs stand-alone versions atm.
Holy Form-" After much talk in the priest community we are finally happy to say we have listened and will be implementing this spell. I'm sure paladins will enjoy it." Koraa
Circle of Healing-" This spell was seen as inferior when compared to other aoe spells on the beta realm. We have increased its healing coefficient by 2% and its mana cost by 42%." Koraa
Inner Fire-"After much debate about charges and the ease with which this spell is removed, we have made some major changes. The spell now contains 1 more charge per level from 70-80, to maintain balance it can no longer be cast when in combat."Koraa
Gaurdian Spirit-" This was not seen as a worthwhile 51 point talent when compared to other classes. So we switched it and CoH, hopefully you apprectiate it as a 41 point talent." Koraa.
Bubble threat-" It was said threat was needed by tanks and bubbles don't give threat. After a long discussion we believe that theory to be correct." Koraa.
Divine Spirit- "Many valid points were brought foward about making this a trainable spell. They have been ignored." Koraa
Survival-"There seems to be an issue among priests that with being the only healer speccing into a pure tanking PvP tree they should have more survivability. We wish to remind priests that survival is a hunter spec and they shouldn't expect to have it anytime soon." Koraa
Penance-" Priests seem to be abit confused that they cannot heal themselves with their own 51 point talent. Well Lawl, you don't see rogues shadowstepping themselves do you?" Koraa
Uniqueness-" Priests seem concerned that the other healing classes can now do everything they can and more. It is our opinion that we like the other classes more."Koraa
Mr. Keeblers fudge Shop-" It is my opinion that while they may have issues, priests are tough cookies. "Koraa.
"Prest is fine day not hav da big swourd to droping on da enemyies day to busie wearingz da napkinz so whie day say ting like 'ouch dat big sword hurtz me to much harrd'." Kalgan.
So fear not my brethren, if these changes go through we have hope.
Update #1-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More changes in the works, many having to do with shadow.
Dispersion- With this spell keeping priests from doing anything, and no longer healing, they have said it is simply "waiting for the inevitable." This is not how we at blizzard treat our customers. The damage reduction has been been changed to 90% more damage taken, so you no longer have to wait for anything. Koraa
Shadowform- There has been much talk about shadowform only reducing the damage of phisycal dps and not magic and how that is not balanced. We agree, it will now reduce neither. Koraa
Imp Psychic Scream- The new tooltip seemed to be confusing some people so we were forced to change the spell to something more simple. Your scream now has a 100% chance to cause loss of control to enemy players for the duration it is on them.Koraa
Imp Holy Concentration-Chance to enter concentration reduced from 1/2/3% to 0/.05/.5% Haste reduced from 10/20/30% to curse of tongues.Koraa
Talent Budget- As you have heard we are now working with a talent budget, it seems priests more than recently went over budget on lightwell and shadow resillience. To maintain the budget Pain suppression and circle of healing have been removed.Koraa
Lightwell- Lightwell now looks like a squid.Koraa
Hymn of Hope- Priests seemed to question if the ammount of mana returned to the party was anything less than a joke. We do agree that it was in need of some major buffing. It will now return mana eqaul to 5% of your targets base mana rather than your own. Koraa
I personally am very excited to see what priests are able to do with all of these changes.
