The new T7 4 set bonus gives you 300 spirit for 10 seconds when you lifetap (which turns into 90-117 spell damage from fel armor depending on if you talented it or not) and +1200 extra mana from lifetap.
Seems like an interesting mechanic to me LT will now likey be in our raid rotation, and we gain vastly increased mana return while chain tapping.
Thoughts?

Just as Planned.
Life Tap is already in my current rotation while raiding (even as affliction - some fights put me out of range of my imp). I like the idea of this, and helps keep affliction up to par with Destro. For Destro, it helps their mana capabilities (which are already bad). However, Life Tapping more than twice usually turns out to not be a good thing in current raids, and if trends at all stay the same, then in Wrath, Life Tapping too much is a bad thing. And anyway, you don't wanna Life Tap during trinkets/procs/bloodlust/etc. anyway (or keep from doing so as much as possible).
Well with this bonus, you'd want to lifetap again right before the buff fades, leading to high sustainable DPS, so that you can pop a trinket and not tap while the trinket/other buff is up.
Just as Planned.
Ideally, probably. Still, some people are going to be going in with 4pc T6. Though, that can be changed out for different pieces so that they get 4pc T6 and 4pc Naxx. It'll be interesting to see.
to maximise your dps, lifetap should be used in only 1 of two situations.
1. every XX seconds the boss does something which means you have to move around, or it takes no damage or some other reason for you to not beable to dps. during this stage you should lifetap as much of your mana back as you can before having to dps again.
2. in your spell rotation you have a choice of either waiting 1-1.5 seconds at the end of the rotation to keep the dots on tight, OR cast another SB/incinerate and have a gap in the dots up time of 1-1.5 seconds. in this case you're better off casting 1 lifetap so as to keep your spell rotation tight and so that you have less chance of having to tap mid rotation. (also starting a new rotation with the bonus +SP from 300 +spirit would be a nice dps increase too :)
