I have to question 5 Divine Fury rather than getting Imp. Renew.
Hey wait a second, I just saw this. You're PVP specced. My position is that Imp Renew is not worth the points for a Disc priest in PVP. You're better off with more points in Holy Spec.
Math for peeps who don't believe me (source linked below):
Quote:
Ticks for 1156. 15% from imp renew is 1329.4 This means that Imp renew is only adding 173.4 healing per tick of renew, which totals to 867 healing added to the entire effect over 15 seconds for 3 talent points.
This is assuming a priest in PVP gear with:
Quote:
completely unbuffed with 2211 Spell Power with 0 stacks of Grace
And my PVP gear is worse than his, which makes it even less useful. :) Furthermore, speaking for myself, I don't even use Renew as much as one might think, since I shield instead and both can often be overkill, especially assuming you have shield glyphed. My basic style in PVP is shield and forget 'em, Penance for the ones getting truly whacked, throw out flash heal as needed when Penance is on cooldown, and spend the rest of your time dispelling and on offense. And even using Renew here and there (for people who still have weakened soul), I still don't think this talent is worth 3 points when I can get more tasty Divine Aegis procs instead.
The quotes are from
a recent thread in Arena Junkies, a nice discussion of various talents and their use in Disc PVP specs. Some of the info needs to be customized for folks like me who play mainly BG's since the playstyle is different from those who focus on arena, but the basics are still good.
Also look at the specs on rated Disc priests, you'll notice almost none are taking Imp Renew. Or Imp Mana Burn for that matter (which I personally also think is trash).
(edited to add: I'm not meaning to sound all bossy here; I hope it goes without saying that I'm speaking only for myself. I'm not trying to give advice, I just always enjoy talent discussions.)
