Do you have a reading disability or just slightly dumb? It takes less than 10 seconds to read a log and even less to notice you're omitting stats to try and justify a false argument. Oh and the quickest example is
http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/characte...c3%ac/advanced But let me guess, ranked 2nd in the world using SW ahead of JoL must be incorrect.
Not to mention
http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/characte...ehmol/advanced as well as
http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/characte...c3%a2/advanced But let me guess, 3 out of 5 of the worlds top 5 mythic progression guilds using SW ahead of JoL must mean JoL is stronger right?
Prefer %? ONE holy paladin in the top 6 is using JoL with a Protection Paladin in the raid. 20% looks way smaller than 75%+ doesn't it.

As for Mythic+ :
"As for padding the meters,
(just an example) if someone stands in Volcanic in a mythic+"
Bringing JoL ahead of SW is stripping yourself of a very useful cooldown in order the bring leech to the raid. And the fact is you don't NEED JoL however just as leech, it's better to have than not. Want a more clear example? Guarm during his charge. JoL will still probably net you 10m+ healing over the course of the fight. Do you think JoL will save someone from dying or would SW do a better job? And as a healer, what's your role in the raid? To prevent people from dying. Therefor SW > JoL as a talent. And to add to that point, those 10m+ would still have a decent chunk of padding as you'd heal someone for an amount another healer would have overhealed anyway.
As I wrote to Hawg earlier : "In a multiple healer scenario, the JoL heal in this case would be padding the meter because someone else would top off the person resulting in the same mana cost, same heal and a small % is attributed to you without any work done or any benefit to the raid. It's in cases like these I say that type of padding is useless because it doesn't grant the raid any specific survival and it doesn't give you the same bang for the buck as SW does."
