This is a medium talent which isnt the most important talent out there, but its nice.
Many peoples of all kinds of shamans (ele, resto and enh) choose this in pvp becuse it give you some extra time to escape so u can heal, or just give u time to cast anything at all, which could be fatal for win or loss. To get it you would choose Spark of life which is very useful, and than Ancestral Resolve or Tidal Focus where the Ancestral Resolve might be the best after Spark of life for ele and resto.

As for pve this also give redused threat aswell as more health. Healers may not often get aggro, but if its for adds with no aggro on any one else, they might go on the healer, because of the constant aggro from healing spells.

All in all this is a talent which many in pve ignore and only some in pvp choose, but its still it is a talent for any spec which u might find nice and enjoyable.

In MoP, this is almost like an instant, automatic "Panic Button". You get down below 30% health, it instantly gives you a temporary health boost, after which you should get the heck out of the fire and heal (either the healer, or yourself.)

Ghostcrawler on 5.2: Nature's Guardian - now preserves the Shaman's health percentage when it expires.

What nobody seems to mention is how good this is to resto shamans. Resto mastery increases healing done the lower your % hp is, which means that not only do you have more room to top yourself off, but you actually receive more bang for your buck.

Hypothetical situation 1; 100k/500k (20%) hp - mastery 50% (let's just say you're at the % hp and the mastery amount where you get 50% stronger heal) - no talent:

You heal yourself for 50k (+50% = 75k) and end up at 175k/500k.

Situation 2: You took the same hit with this talent proccing - you are now rendered to 125k/625k.

First, your actual current HP was "boosted" by 25% - as if you'd healed yourself for that much, so it would take that extra 25k damage to actually kill you.
Second, if you do manage to top yourself off, you'll be quite a mountain to chop for the duration.

Now, what happens in scenario 2:

You heal yourself for the same amount, ending up at 200k/625k. Now it takes 200k damage to finish you off. Also, your mastery works wonders here - obviously you were in a sticky situation if this procced, so that means you're getting bashed. But this means that you can get bashed, survive, AND benefit from your mastery until you can top yourself off.

Simply put, the lower your hp %, the more in danger you are. But the more hp you have, the more room you have to survive, enjoying boosted heals. And this talent scales amazingly with gear.
