Post Patch Pre-WoLK Priest Build Thoughts
N/A — ... Guardian Spirit – This is another tank healing / 5 man talent. I think it will be something nice to play with long term, and will even be very useful, but I am not sure how useful it will currently be. I will go ahead and take it because the only thing I lose to do so is 1 point from ...

However, there’s enough hybridity in each that the build is not so limiting. This is almost a separate rant, but wouldn’t it be nice if Beacon of Light had some dps utility of some kind, without making it overpowered? How about Riptide, Wild Growth and Guardian Spirit?
