On topic: Judgements of the Wise is 100% working as intended. Before 3.2, the tooltip didn't say "damaging judgements" it just said "judgements." In order to clarify their intention, Blizzard added the word "damaging" to make it 100% clear that they don't intend for us to get mana back when the judgement is absorbed.
Personally, I think that's completely retarded. It wasn't a problem when we had Spiritual Attunement because SA covered up any problems with losses due to judgements being absorbed. Now that you've taken away SA, we are compltely reliant on Judgements of the Wise. Divine Plea is a freaking joke for ret.
Anyway, the discussion shouldn't be about whether the JotW talent is glitched or broken. It's working as intended. What you need to do is convince Blizzard that their current design leads to problems and that they need to change the way they view how it works.
