I can also state an example how Archangel scales with mastery. Lets say you have 20% increased healing from mastery raidbuffed.
You cast a penance offensivly ticking for 40k -> 40k -> 40k. The outcome of atonement would be 48k -> 48k -> 48k. (40 * 1.2)
With a 5 stack archangel up the outcome would be 60k -> 60k -> 60k (48 * 1.25)
Lets say we had 7.15% additional haste apart from raid buff so penance channel = ~1.78s
hps without aa= ~80.9k (raw healing assuming no crits)
hps with AA= ~101k (raw healing assuming no crits)
Now lets do the same but with lower mastery lets say 10% increased healing and 20% increased absorbs. 100% crit and 3% increased dmg/healing meta.
You cast a penance offensivly ticking for 40k -> 40k -> 40k. The outcome of atonement would be 45.3k -> 45.3k -> 45.3k. (40 * 1.1 * 1.03)
With a 5 stack archangel up the outcome would be 56.6k -> 56.6k -> 56.6k (45.3 * 1.25)
Lets say we had 0% additional haste apart from raid buff so penance channel = ~1.9s
hps without aa= ~71.5k (raw healing assuming 100% crits)
hps with AA= ~89.3k (raw healing assuming 100% crits)
As you can see from the calculations above, the raw healing output will always be higher running haste/mastery, what's hard taking in consideration is the unused aegis. However with more haste you cast more spells. Even if your crit is lower you will still have more spells that have a chance to crit, even if the chance is lower.
This calculation was made purely based on penance though, if you would take a spell such as smite, the difference wouldnt be as big.
