Really enjoying priest, glad I swapped my old job for it, I just have a few quick questions: Is PW:Shield affected by +healing spell stats? And when you read "increases healing and damage spells by up to x amount" is that maximum "x" increase affected by any stats like maybe int, or is it always random? Thx.
Yes PW:S is effected by +heal.
When an item has increases damage & healing by up to X amount, it means that X is the maximum increase you will get. Other stats do not change this.
The way it works is that you get 100% of X on a spell that takes 3.5 seconds or more to cast (base time, not counting talents that reduce it)
So an item with +50 damage & healing, you would get an additional 50 healing on a Greater Heal even if you have the talents to reduce the cast time to 3 seconds.
If the cast time is less, you just work out
(X / 3.5 )*T = modifier
where X is your +dmg or +heal and T is the cast time of the spell.
So a 1.5 sec cast spell with +50 damage would only net you (50 / 3.5) * 1.5 = 21.4 extra damage.
Instant cast spells are treated as though they have a 1.5 second cast time.
HoT's and DoT's work slightly differently, where you only get the full value of X on if the spell lasts for 15 seconds.
Here is the WoW-Wiki page on this for more information

Just two additional notes:
PW:S gets 30% of your +healing.
The +heal or +damage a spell receives from your gear is never random. You always receive the same bonus based on the spell, its rank and your level.

Go to wow.curse.com and get an add-on called Dr. Damage. It can tell how much bonus you get, and if its from +healing or +damage.
Does Shield have a specific coefficient? Wow Wiki is saying instant casts get 43% bonus, but my add-on that calculates the bonus says it's closer to 30%.

Yes, Shield has a specific Shield-only coefficient of 30%. It used to not get any at all, and it's taken three buffs to get to that number, so be grateful.
