Also the glyph is really debatable. My unbuffed WG does 37,317 overall on 1 target. So times that by 5, you get 186585, that's 1 WG w/o glyph. Adding 1 target to that would be a 37,317 increase (223902), but at the cost of 2 seconds on the CD. So we have to see if the seconds are justified. After 40 seconds, you'll be able to use the unglpyhed WG 5 times (5*8=40) and the glyphed WG 4 times (4*10=40). So we can easily see if it's worth it. (186585 * 5) = 932925 > 895608 = (4 * 223902).
As you can see, in terms of throughput, the unglyphed pulls ahead. What gets hard to account for is all possible tick-crits of the extra target, and you'd still get the same number of SotF WGs in theory, so you'd be getting more SotF ticks off WG. Does that account for the difference in healing? Maybe, I'm too lazy to do any more math though.
In my opinion what it comes down to is how fast you want to put WG out, and I prefer the older style of an 8 second CD. Just me. To each their own.
