When it procs, it gives a steady amount of mana back--great for all casters!--but this mana works just like Mp5, providing zero benefit to your Spiritual Guidance. You ideally want to stack so much Spirit to the moon that you can get mana back from your Spirit instead of from situational enchants, procs, and Mp5 methods, so that your regeneration is doing double-duty by giving you more Spiritual Guidance spellpower. It's also steady and reliable via the Spirit route. I built the Greatness deck recently in order to test if it is a good enough chunk of Spirit to warrant a trinket slot in a smite priest's effort to simultaneously hit cap and walk around with 1200+ Spirit rating, but it's something I won't be able to test until the first week of December. If you're having mana issues though, the mana cloak enchant is always the better bet over the spellpower enchant (which unfortunately, is going to happen most of the time.) I've managed with the spellpower cloak enchant--which significantly bolsters DPS--in ToC-10, but only with an alchemist's stone and strategic use of Divine Hymn and Shadowfiend (so I can get two of them off in one longer fight.)

So, I was trying to decide on cloak enchant, and I noticed you have the spellpower one. Is that better than the mana one, given the mana shortages a holy dpser experiences?
