Reglyphing

I know it's been a while since my last post, and I apologize for that. I thought I'd have more to say, but I guess I was giving myself a bit too much credit. Hah. Altaholic has given me a bit of gentle prodding though, so I'll see what I can do.

I've gone ahead and reglyphed myself, though I haven't had a chance to test them out in a raid situation yet. I used Elitist Jerks as a start, and picked out the ones I felt were the most beneficial for me personally.

Currently, I am using:

Glyph of Power Word: Shield
Glyph of Penance
Glyph of Prayer of Healing
Glyph of Fortitude
Glyph of Levitate

Glyph of Power Word: Shield is incredibly useful for discipline priests. We already get a stronger shield thanks to our talent tree, which makes the glyph heal for more than it would if the player were holy or (for some reason) shadow. 20% of a disc priest's shield absorption healed can get to be quite a bit, especially if you keep the shield up.

Glyph of Penance is pretty self-explanatory, dropping the cooldown time of Penance 2 seconds. It adds up.

The Glyph of Prayer of Healing I was initially a bit leery on, but I remembered how nice it was to have when I was mainspecced holy, I decided to pop it on. It heals an additional 20% of its initial heal over 6 seconds, which, I can only imagine, will be nice in fights like Festergut and Rotface where there's more than one person taking damage, and the resto shaman is having a hard time by himself.

The other two are minor glyphs, for reducing the mana cost of abilities and removing the need for reagents, respectively. I don't think I've ever played a priest without the latter, since I tend to accidentally autorun myself off cliffs.

I'm still trying to decide what to put in the last minor slot, if anything.

Meanwhile, guild drama. It seems like the dust has settled, for now. We'll see.
