New changes to healing coefficients and raid wide effects still leave this glyph in muddied water. If they change the healing coefficient of HN which there have been rumors of, then it could be worthwhile for a Discipline priest.

However, as of now, any holy priest focusing on pve will probably be taking glyphs:

Flash Heal
Circle of Healing
PW:S
Dispel
Lightwell
Spirit of Redemption

With CoH, HN becomes worthless for healing, unless healing coefficients to it change. This glyph also makes it worthless for any damage at all. The only thing that would make this stand out is HN not generating threat, and I doubt that would overcome the desire for any of the other healing glyphs.

edit for cost changes to HN:
CoH= 21% base mana
HN= now 25% base mana

I believe this glyph stands to be a very strong Discipline spec PvP glyph. In 2.4, I find that there are many times in 2v2 vs double dps teams with rogues that I end up spamming Holy Nova to keep myself up. This glyph makes that all the more effective.

The only offset is that Glyph of Dispel Magic and Glyph of Power Word Shield are both so strong in PvP that I don't see this glyph being used till level 80 where it competes with Glyph of Renew for the third spot.

I would like to note that you CANNOT stack several glyphs of the same type to increase the effect. Upon attempting to inscribe a duplicate Glyph at the Lexicon of Power you recieve the message:

"That Glyph is already inscribed in your spellbook."

If it reduced the mana cost by 10% or so, it would be much closer to worth it.

10% would still only be a 2.5% cut off the 25% base mana, putting it at 22.5% base mana.

Nice, sure, but its still a very hefty cost for what you get out of it, i say 40% extra healing would be much better then that.
What i think you meant though is a bigger cut, but then its balance would be out of whack.. if it were made dirt-cheap with the same amount of healing, you would be either looking at a nerf soon, or perhaps a cooldown added.

Its fine the way it is, they could always up the healing some more to make it competitive, if they find it is not at the moment.

The day that Blizzard establishes a maximum amount of targets that can be healed and says that Holy Nova can now target raid members is the day that this glyph makes Holy Nova broken for Holy Priests. Without this glyph, Holy Nova's healing potential on an individual target is slightly less than that of Circle of Healing. With this glyph, Holy Nova becomes more powerful than Circle, for about the same cost, making it a very potent 5-man tool as well as a very flexible quick heal in PvP and solo situations. In a group with a lot of pets, Holy Nova really shines because it can heal so many more people than Circle of Healing even when CoH is glyphed. Then again, HN's greatest curse is that it can only apply its healing to the priest's current group.

Holy Nova's damage is appreciated but still negligible, so the damage reduction isn't much of a loss and also isn't as bad if you spec into 2/2 Searing Light (only 30% damage lost, 25% with 5/5 Twin Disciplines and as far down as 21% damage lost with the Discipline talent Focused Power for all you Disc priests out there, which is still a lot but you get in where you fit in).

5/5 Twin Discipines (5% additional healing for insta-casts), 5/5 Spiritual Healing (10% additional healing for all healing spells), 5/5 Divine Providence (10% additional healing for any heal that can affect multiple people), 3/3 Blessed Resilience (3% additional healing to all healing spells) and this glyph (40% additional healing to Holy Nova itself) make Holy Nova's healing potential 68% stronger than it initially was. CoH, which benefits from everything except the HN glyph receives a 28% healing improvement.

Holy Nova has the potential to become almost twice as powerful as it originally was, which takes it out of the ballpark of CoH healing and puts it into the ballpark of Prayer of Mending healing.

So, what you get currently is a heal centered around yourself that can heal anyone in your current group within range, can damage any enemy, and has no limitation on the amount of things it can heal or damage. With so many targets capable of being affected, this procs surge of light like crazy, which means a free flash heal (which in turn procs Serendipity) or a free smite (which allows you to contribute to dps without consuming mana when everyone's health is good). If you have the chance to slap it on or the opportunity for it to really shine presents itself, try out the glyph. It'll surprise you. But it's definitely not likely going to be a top-three choice for group PvE purposes, and certainly not raid purposes.

Edit: Had to change around some of the number crunching. Got a little gung-ho and established Twin Disciplines as 10% additional healing when it's only 5%. Still, my assertions remain unchanged elsewhere and this glyph still offers a worthy amount of healing boost to Holy Nova if you ever find the opportunity to use it.

On the 3.2 PTR this glyph is changed to: "Increases the damage and healing of your Holy Nova spell by an additional 20%"

I don't really raid on my priest. I do a lot of 5-mans.

Most heroics are far too easy and I end up with glut of mana to burn. So I jump into the scrum of mobs and start firing this off. Shield yourself for Borrowed Time and start blasting.

It's most fun to do when you have a crappy dps in your group. "Hey man, the healer is beating you, pick it up!"
