My priest isn't high enough yet, but I sometimes encounter people spamming this in instances on my paladin. So was wondering what kind of threat this generates and why would anyone use this on mobs knowing that they are going to take the same amount of damage? Reason being I ran SV a few times and encountered SP's which for some reason took damage but I could see no reason for it until I checked what dot they put on the mob.
