There are limitations to how much damage or healing will be reversed. For boss encounters dealing large AoE to the group, it will convert a small portion of that damage, not all of it.

To receive mana regen, you must reverse some damage or healing that the target produces. Make sure whenever you're casting that you're selecting a target that is actively producing one of those things. For example, if a tank is kiting an enemy, you won't receive any sort of mana regen or damage reversal because the enemy is not actively engaging.

When a player receives healing by Jeux d’esprit, they also receive Maîtrise : Écho de la Lumière healing as well.

Many encounters in Season 1 of Shadowlands have steady ticking damage. On Prideful, you get the powerful burst of healing and a slight amount of follow up via the reversals. In the raid, many bosses will produce an early burst followed by low to mid ticking damage, like Fangepoing when he destroys a pillar.

Perceptions brisées is the conduit for Jeux d’esprit. It's a duration and healing increase that is a decent gain to your Covenant ability, but you often have access to stronger conduits instead.

Sensations fortes provides a stacking buff that unleashes a haste buff when reaching 40 stacks. If you kill an enemy, you gain additional stacks. These decay extremely fast when not in combat, so raid encounters with multiple adds are generally where this trait will shine. In Dungeons, the buff decays too quickly to really make effective use out of and on Patchwerk encounters the stack generation is too low to get strong uptime.

With Agent du chaos, you gain a radius marker where your Porte des ombres will land resulting in a quick disorient to all enemies inside. This has some marginal benefits in Mythic+, particularly in dungeons like Sanguine Depths where there is a high density of low-hp caster enemies. Once the AoE stuns/silences run out, having an extra resource to tack on can have some decent value.

Finally, the Duelliste déterminé trait is just generally decent for single target damage but you give up a Potency slot to get it.

Ombre apaisante, the initial trait in the tree, creates a solid Mastery benefit with decent uptime. The parasol they trot out with is generally just a step or two away from you so it's easy to pivot and stand in.

At the final fork in the road you're given two options. Convenances du désert grants you and allies nearby a solid chunk of Versatility for 8 seconds after you cast Jeux d’esprit, or you could grab the Potency conduit and take Preuve d’estime. The versatility bonus can be very strong, especially if you time it correctly with your Hymne divin or Mot sacré : Salut.

The choice is really between getting that versatility bonus AFTER you cast Jeux d’esprit, meaning your Hymne divin or Mot sacré : Salut will be buffed by that versatility or grabbing that extra Potency conduit which features a small extra heal.

Pierre de service provides a bit of damage reduction when below 40% health and then provides a "martyrdom" type effect when you die, splitting damage and healing. We're all great players here so we don't really have to worry about that last part /cough.

Corps indestructible is a decent "tech" soulbind for progression raiding when wipes are frequent.

Inflexible is the final trait in the tree and pretty much the biggest reason to take it.

I am confused by calling Shattered Perceptions a worse conduit than Focused Mending when by my math it is always a bit behind is throughput(well spell power in this case) than the former at each rank(well okay I only did calcs at rank 4 and rank max, the latter to see how much it will hold up in the future). Shattered Perceptions seems to provide slightly more in damage prevented and healed than what Focused Mending contributes over a 1.5 min period, considering only 10s PoM cd via haste(which I reckon is a bit too high :P) for CD reduction. A 49.4 percent increase to 61% Spell power tick comes out simply lower than a 16.9% increase to a 450% spell power damage prevented AND healing, even if it does end up being close. That being said the increased duration to the debuff makes Shattered Perception far easier to pull off on CD while I reckon PoM with it's short CD will find itself skipped for a few seconds simply to heal a priority target, or overlapping with channels.

Inherently it does feel like Shattered Perceptions is being undersold. I wish I could compare it the holy word conduit, but for that I'd 100% need ingame testing as the value is way too in flux. It is also the most "fun" conduit so I find it difficult to skip out on anyways.
