Healing trinkets and you
Vonya over at Egotistical Priest has a nice write-up regarding the various healing trinkets available to players these days.
I definitely recommend reading the entire article, but for those that may have a short attention span (or are alt+tabbed from a raid at the moment and don't have a lot of time), she makes some valid points about healing trinkets, so I'll attempt to summarize.
Her main point is that most trinkets follow the same basic formula:
The average trinket Use says : Increases X by Y for Z. Where X is damage or healing, and Y is the amount that it's increased (often in the 200 range) and Z is the length of time that it's affected, usually 15-20 seconds.
While a class that constantly spams heals, like a Paladin, would receive most of the benefit during the time the trinket is active, a Priest tends to follow up a big heal with a HoT and then try and wait for the 5 second rule. While this may maximize their mana efficiency, it minimizes the impact the trinket has while active.
She goes into more detail than what I've mentioned, so be sure to check out her blog for a fun and engaging read!
