im sure this had to be asked before,
what exactly is the diffrence between "improved power word fortitude"
and "improved power word shield"?
what is being improved in powerwordforitude, it says the effect, but that can mean alot. including the dmg abosrbed, so im wondering if you get more out of this than powerwordSHIELD.
how mny points do people usuelly spend in each?

Power Word Fortitude and Power Word Shield are two completely different things.
Power Word Fortitude is your stamina buff that you can cast on yourself or anyone else.
Power Word Shield is your "bubble" that absorbs x amount of damage and lasts up to 30 seconds. This can only be cast on yourself or party members.
The effect of improving Power Word Fortitude, is to increase the amount of the stamina buff.
The effect of improving Power Word Shield is to increase the amount of damage she shield absorbs.
I would personally spend more points in Power Word Shield, I believe you get three. Especially if you're soloing. However, a little extra stamina never hurt a clothie either.
At later levels you'll get Prayer of Fortitude, which is more mana efficient than Power Word Fortitude for groups, so I never improved my Power Word Fortitude.
Hope this helps!

Prayer of Fort is increased by the talent too. At level 70, you're getting about 30 more stamina to whoever you're grouped with for 2 points, versus about 300 more absorption for 3 points from one of your least-used holy spells (at least while grouped, though it gets more use while solo'ing).
Always get ImpFort, and throw points in ImpShield if you need more points to get deeper into Disc.

Don't forget that shields will be scaling with +healing and damage this patch, so imp pw:s will be even more worthwhile, especially in pvp.
At already scaled, just absolutely horribly (20% of healing). From what I've heard, it's 40-43% this patch, so it's a lot better. Still not worth casting in raids, but a lot better.
