Irrelevant. The point was, it didn't matter where you were, you had a ghost version of the ICC buff, applying +30% to your absorbs, just for standing in Orgrimmar. This has been fixed, thus people thinking Mastery scaling made such a huge impact were misled (Blizzard's fault, not theirs).
But my point was, it explained why Discipline no longer gained +30% when they went into ICC. Because they already "had it".

The Shield fix is quite a massive blow to Discipline tbh. Compared to how powerful our shields have been to where they are today is sad. Although I can still get PW:S and DA to stack to around 14-15k which is pretty damn good still. BUT, having said that I am enjoying not being a bubble bot and im loving spamming PoH and Nova and seeing all those pretty DA procs from Renew.
In a sence we are now letting the other healers use their heals more since we cant prevent the damage we used to, it will being some balance back. If I could have one thing now it would be to have smite cast time reduced, because even though i have 839 haste Smite still seems slow especially when you need to built up stacks fast.
