And there was the nerf to the meta gem as well, so I had another boost from that. But, that is farm, I have always maintained that spirit/regen is critical to maintain appropriate rejuv casts as a 25H progression Druid. So that is why I would rather go with that 3k extra spirit from Dys in progression, bringing my static+trinket spirit to about 20K. This is what has felt comfortable to me starting at about Dark Shamans.
This is about the same as 5.2 progression (before the 13K BP was possible), I where had ~17K spirit, and again, HLG, bringing me close to 19k spirit when converted. Over a typical 10 minute encounter that level feels just about right IMO.
