WotLK Power Word: Shield doesn't protect from interruption?

[SummerJS]

I am *pretty sure* I used to be able to harvest herbs and use hearthstone safely inside my priest bubble while a confused mob was pounding away at me in the meantime. Now any hit immediately interrupts the action even though the damage is fully absorbed.

This is a bug right? Not another of the "more hardcore" balance tweaks I hope?

According to the QA guy, it's working as intended as he said in your bug report https://www.warmane.com/bugtracker/report/13934
But if you can find some retail videos they might change their minds.

Hm, you might be right. I 100% remember bubble-hearthing as priest on retail but that was in MoP, it seems they made that a thing sometime during Cataclysm.

Which means... it's actually a feature, not a bug. Siiiiigh. I'm so going to miss my speed flower picking.
