It's now mana-free with a 20 minute CD. Talented down to 16, with glyphs for both increasing the mana restored by 20%, or giving the mana restored to your target to you also.
Also note that, per everything I've heard and the tooltip itself, the target isn't healed up to /her/ full health (which can be easily over 20k, even at 70), but by your maximum health (not likely much over 10k at 70).
Basically, it's intended that we actively use our LoH cooldowns now - rather than a disaster aversion talent that gets hoarded because of the risk of being trapped between cooldowns, it (especially glyphed) will help ease a tough situation back a notch, hopefully before you are even considering if a wipe is imminent.
I expect they also considered that the very lack of a panic button will help Blizzard implement their vision of a day when paladins have a solid, varied toolkit that promotes filling the role of the strongest single-target healer without facerolling.
Now we can just pray that they don't ***** it up.
