    [MoP] Burning Rush+Soul Link+Soul Harvest?

    1) Does the self damage from Burning Rush split between the Player and the Demon if Soul Link is active? or is it all on the player?

    2) Does the passive healing from Soul Harvest that normally goes to the Demon transfer to the Player when Soul Link is active and the Player has less than 100% health and the demon has 100% health ?

    3) if either #1 or #2 holds does the combined healing of Soul Harvest counter act Burning rush completely out of combat or does #2 not hold and Soul Harvest only counter acts half of the self damage of Burning Rush?

    From my testing, it seems soul harvest is disabled when burning rush is enabled? : /

    Indeed, Soul Harvest does not work when using Burning Rush and the damage is not subjected to Soul Link. It cannot be prevented or reduced under any circumstance, not even with Dark Bargain or Unending Resolve.

    A glyphed Healthstone will balance out the damage and effectively cancel it out for as long as the HoT lasts.

    1. No. Burning Rush (and any other ability with a health cost) doesn't technically deal damage, it just uses health as a resource to power the spell. This means that it won't get transfered by Soul Link, or get mitigated by absorb shields or damage reduction, or trigger any on-damage effects (if available).

    2. Harvest Life isn't technically a heal, so it isn't transfered. It just dramatically increases our natural out of combat health regeneration. It also doesn't quite heal you for 2% every second, it's 4% very 2 seconds. If you turn on Burning Rush while OOC, you'll see your health drop every second and then go up every other second, or if you time it right it'll just go down every two seconds.

    As said above, a glyphed healthstone wold counteract the damage for 10 seconds, and the talent Dark Regeneration would almost cover it for 12. Additionally, since Dark Regeneration does heal the pet, you should actually gain health with Burning Rush and Soul Link active if your pet's at 100%, though it won't be an extra 3% of your health because your pet's health is lower than yours.
