It effectively gives Holy a secondary resource - free flash heals, which proc serendipity, which makes things cheaper and with 2-set, more effective. It is simply amazing. When I went into Immerseus I was a little worried with our newish tanks and if I would be able to use FDCL effectively in such a situation, but it really was a lifesaver.
Free Instant Flash Heals which proc off everything you do.
Free Instant Flash Heals which give you a stack of serendipity.
Free Instant Serendipity Procs which increase your healing efficacy and HPS.
It's simply glorious. I ran with about 13k spirit, and I had not one mana problem. Truly obscenely powerful. This is especially true for being in Chakra: Serenity where I quite like to pop a renew on someone who has taken damage and go back to refresh it if required later than hard case heals on them. For this, the FH procs are outstandingly effective at keeping that renew going on quite a few people while simultaneously providing high quantities of raw heals, and making your future heals more effective. It just adds a whole new dynamic to the holy spec which is (admittedly OP as fuck in the hands of a competent holy priest) just so exciting.
I then decided to go disc and started to cry. It was so boring. "Smitesmitesmitesmitesmitesmitesmitesmitesmitesmitesmitesmitesmite"
