It is a bit OP, I agree. On many fights I keep it on CD starting at about 80% mana. On a recent Sarth10 fight the ret pally asked in vent, with a tint of incredulity in his voice, "Cyn I have just one question - how did you manage to not go oom on that fight?"
I'm not sure the 50% hit is the answer though, unless there are other changes that will impact us.

I have 50% overheal as a rule. If I cut down my raw healing by 50%, I lose my overhealing, not effective healing.
I'd just like to point out that if you use bacon often and if you have the HL glyph then a lot of that overhealing is not direct healing. I have a feeling the 50% hit will impact us more than you may think at the moment.
Remember, most people haven't played a pally and even when they do a lot of studying on their own class, as most of the people in my guild do, they wind up with two things that stick out in their heads about Holy Pallies when they are putting a group together - unsurpassed MT healer and mana miser. This hit will affect both those things so we need to improvise, adapt, and overcome (to quote my man Clint).

Meh, something needed to be done, it was OP before, now it just means that I hafta pop wings to get 20% healing back after I lose 50%. Yeah, I'll still lose some, but it will have less of an impact.
While this did not always work before because wings has a longer CD, yes its one way to adapt now that DP won't be kept on CD (like I have done).
