This is coming from a tankadin.
I just ran with a Discipline Priest. It was a pug group and he was healing. (H. UK)
While it wasn't a bad run, it certainly wasn't a great run. He kept putting some kind of bubble on me. I think it's a Disc. talent or something... I kept going /oom.
Warrior rage mechanics and Paladin mana mechanics really need those heals. (I know nothing about DK or Bear tanks)
If you use it - let your tank know in advance what you plan on doing. The 1 melee and I died on one pull because I went /oom. If I had known what he was doing - I would have entered the fight with more mana or taken more damage... (As a paly tank - If i'm low on mana - I'll just let them crit me by sitting down....)
So - in short - It looks good, but give your tank a heads up...
Of course this trinket would suck for trash mobs. You need to get hit as a warrior to gain rage(or as a druid) and need to block/dodge/parry to gain mana as a pally. Having a bubble up lets you do none of those.
If a mob however is hitting you for 10001 damage and the bubble takes 10000 damage, that one damage can still be block, dodged, or parried, and will still gain you rage if you're a warrior/druid.(at least, that's the way I've always known it to be. I might be wrong)
This trinket would have its uses, that's all I'm saying. On high damage bosses like patch or other, if the bubble is being broken on a single hit, there will be no lost rage or mana for the tank. If it works with splash damage or with beacon of light, it would be pure win imo.
