Has anyone noticed Flash of Light doing massive heals lately. I just took some lower level players (mid 30s) through a couple instances. I did two flash of lights on a lvl 31 pally and each one was for over 9k. A couple days later I did a FoL on 38 Pally and hit him for over 10k. I figured I would try an FoL on myself and it hit for 1k which was more normal. Does FoL scale to level or does someone think this is a bug by chance?
I would think that if it scaled to level, the FoL on the lowbies would be a lower rank, therefore a smaller heal. I would probably classify this as a bug, but I haven't noticed anything like it yet. . .
Note to self. . .Run a lowbie just to try it. . .

This definitely sounds like a bug too me, unless there was some insane multipliers on your target and you also had some insane talent/buff/etc that the bonus could be attributed too, glyph perhaps?
Maybe I will test this out a bit tonight and report it to Blizzard. I do have a Holy Light glyph but no Flash of Light glyph. As for buffs causing it....would have to be a bug. I was pretty basic (Ret Aura and Kings) and the other pally had Dev Aura....not sure of anything else. I can't imagine any combination of buffs making Flash of Light heal for that much......even Holy Light would have a hard if not impossible time getting up in the 9-10k range.

There used to be a bug with the tree aura that made the +6% healing stack forever, Imp Devo aura is also +6%, maybe there's a bug with it that does the same as the one for druids.
Actually a holy light from a well-geared holy Paladin will crit for 9k to 11k on me quite frequently when I have devo aura up. A FoL hitting for this much even (or perhaps especially) on a lower level toon would seem ridiculous and probably is a bug. Why heal a level 30 with 1k HP for 9k? Makes no sense to me.
I have run many heroics lately with myself (Prot Paladin), a Holy Paladin healer, a Ret Paladin DPS and an Enhancement Shaman. (Plus a hunter for additional and totally unnecessary DPS just to fill slot 5). The Holy Lights from the Holy Paladin hit me for 10k+ a LOT with this setup. We also finish heroics in 0 time with almost 0 downtime even after the 3.0.3 nerfs. Having Devo, Ret, and Conc Auras up with 3 Pally buffs and everything the Enhance Shammy adds and Trueshot Aura from the hunter is just ridiculous. I am really enjoying this for the next week!

I think it's a Blizzard joke :) Pally's on the O-Boards are QQing so much about how much they overheal. This may just be a dig :) 90% overheals - woot!!!

Well, more like 900% overheals, but yeah, I get your point :)

Sorry when I was saying scale to level I was looking at it in an inverse proportion. I was thinking that maybe because it was a high level flash of light it may scale inversly to the level of the player causing it to overheal by a larger amount. Think of it like taking a drug. Give a certain dose of a drug to an adult and it will have an effect. Give that same dose to a kid and the effects are much larger.

Does your combat log also show 9K+ heals, or are you just seeing it that way graphically on your screen? Do you have some kind of add-on that affects the appearance of your scrolling combat text?
Combat log shows it as well (usually with a 9k overheal)
Must be a bug. I don't know the coefficient but you'd need a ludicrous amount of spellpower to pull off a 9k Flash of Light.
