Get the 50 int wrist enchant if you can, and power torrent if possible (though heartsong isn't awful). Get the better cloak enchant. Change your chest enchant to +15 to all stats (if not 20). Get the better spellthread if you can. Replace blood of isiset with an int trinket. Know the haste thresholds and try to meet them, anything in between is a waste. Current theorycraft says the 2005 is ideal for 25 mans, with it being close between 915 and 2005 for 10 mans (assumes 5% haste but no dark intent). Given you aren't close to 2005, I would recommend trying to go all the way down to 915, moving the rest to mastery (or spirit). Obviously try to replace your 333 items. Make sure to use ToL, Innervate, Tranquility, and Concentration Potions.
As to the wild growth question, it ends up being a 12.5% increase. The thing is, it doesn't just add a tick. Yes, you get an additional tick, but it makes all previous ticks a little bit stronger. So while the 9th tick is weakest, yes, the first 8 are stronger than they were before.
