Let's see, what is it this time?
-PoH is affected by Echo of Light, Shadow Covenant is not affected by Disc's mastery
-PoH triggers Serendipity, Shadow Covenant procs nothing
-PoH is not a talent, Shadow Covenant is
-PoH does not replace another spell to have, Shadow Covenant does
-When using PoH frequently, it will have an 18% bonus to its healing via the trait "Power of the Naaru", Shadow Covenant gains no such bonus (aside from the 10% increase traits both spells have)
If PoH was only a 1000% SP heal for 4.5% base mana for a 2 second cast that did not scale with mastery, it would be absolute garbage and no Holy Priest would ever use it. Let's not be dishonest when making comparisons now.
I don't need your help because your information is wrong. It is not arrogance to repeatedly stamp out blatant misinformation that is only geared towards appearing correct and not representing reality. Arrogance would be continually asserting that your ill-thought conclusions that are missing most of the relevant information are correct and that people with actual experience playing what you are talking about cannot possibly have a better viewpoint than you, someone with absolutely zero experience with what we are discussing.
For reference, Shadow Covenant is fine as a talented emergency heal when the player feels that it would be needed more frequently than planned setup for raid-wide healing or passive healing increases. That is its purpose, but it in no way "threatens" the way that Disc is designed to be played.
