WotLK Resto shaman Earth Shield

[Shizel]

I wanted to know if the Earth Shields healing mechanic is broken here on Molten cause when used on the MT for example like very much of the heals are like 100% overheal when the tank is tanking 1 target only, when he tanks like trash then those 100% overheals aint so often. As it says in the spell "Reduces casting or channeling time lost when damaged by 30% and attacks heal the shielded target for 337."

As i was testing it looks like Earth Shield procs very shortly before the target even receives the dmg, when i think it should be the other way around the target should be healed very shortly after it takes dmg. This could be same as with Prayer of Mending, when healing on my priest i also saw alot of those 100% overheals there too.

Anybody has any more info on this if this should be like that or no?

Your testing is right. Earth shield should heal after the target takes damage, but it heals before here.

I do not see it as that bad. It does a lot of over healing, that is true, but it heals when heal is most useful.

Just wanted to make sure its a bug, well yea its not totaly broken but when fully fixed will be even better, a 6k crit heal after the tank is hit for example 12k is much :D
Ill make a bug report about it now and hope they will fix it.
