Forethought Talisman vs Tears of the VanquishedFollow

A lot depends on your assignment and strategy.

If you are beaconing the tank and healing others (maximum efficiency), the proc is likely to be wasted often since even your initial heal will have a fair amount of overheal. If you are focusing on the tank to the exclusion of the raid (maximum safety), I can see a use for the proc, along with your FLoT and SS, as a way of evening out damage spikes.

By the same token, if you're going for efficiency, you'll like the regen of the ToC trinket. And if you're going for safety, you want to maximize throughput, which means the Talisman.

Basically, the more old-school you are - the stereotype is chaining FoL but never exhausting a relatively small mana pool - the more you'll prefer the Talisman. Tears supports the judging-for-mana, whacking-on-bosses, 70%-Holy-Light style that was almost universal in T7 content. Since I'm still in the latter camp, I'll likely keep mine until I get enough Triumph emblems for the Talisman of Resurgence, which is basically both of the above trinkets combined.

3572 over 12 seconds doesn't seem like a lot, I would have thought the int & mana would enable you to flash more often.

How would you rank the ToC25 trinket Solace of The Defeated Bode? I rank it as near the top if my wishlist, the way I look at it that trinket works out at roughly 6000mana over a 5 minute fight and thats nothing any other trinket is going to match.

Dont... his ego is big enough already.
