It's not optimal once you get to berserk phase wipes (or kills), but that's the point when you swap back to Twist of Fate, which we do - because it provides more damage at that point.
It's not that we're using Power Infusion to pad meters (obviously, because it's inferior), we're doing it to control perception - because it's a necessary part of the human element of raiding. Even if people know Spriests should be low on the pull, they are still influenced by seeing it.
