Question about Beacon of Faith Cleric set

The 4 set grants you "Your healing powers have a 15% chance to grant 900 Recovery and Critical Strike. 45 sec cooldown." On how this power will proc will each Astral Shield tick grants you a 15% to proc this, or only the initial casting of Astral Shield and healing word works to proc this set powers. Need an expert cleric to enlighten us. ;)

    I can't say for sure since I don't have this set but most likely it only procs from the first tick. That would put it in line with similar abilities or triggered procs of this type

    I also like to hear from someone who use this set. To me, it is too random to be effective. High Prophet set is way better in comparison.

    It procs off the first tick and doesn't affect DoTs/HoTs that were cast before the buff procs.

    The set-bonus is really not so important that it matters when it procs. It proc's often enough and you can tell when it has proc'ed just by how quickly cooldowns come around but it is a very ordinary set bonus and it will make no tangible difference if you do not have it at all. The tier 1 sets have much better 4 pieces bonuses.

    I am trading up for the fabled set since the set bonus looks quite good and Recovery is essentially worthless. The DR's hit super hard, AS will never have 100% uptime and it is the space between AS cooldowns which needs to be filled. Since AS can never have 100% uptime this means the space must be filled by something other than AS. If you can fill the space then why exactly is it that AS was needed in the first place? Surely if you can cover the downtime you can cover the whole time and just drop AS from rotation.

    As for using Beacon of Faith in general though it is a great set, I farmed and sold off around 4 complete Miracle Healers sets while wearing my Beacon of Faith. The key to using the set is to understand all of the heals must come from you, if someone is injured and you don't personally heal them they won't get healed. MH will cover your shortcomings and provide a significant boost to your heals if you fail badly at healing reactively. If you are good at locating and targeting injured party members then BoF will make sure that those heals are large enough to matter. Grab a Fey Touched enchantment to go along with it and Sunburst will aoe debuff 5 enemies with almost 50% uptime while also providing you an insignificant boost to repurposed soul heals(it would be nice if feytouched buffed damage and heals but alas it only provides a damage buff). A strong and fast Astral Shield is what BoF will give you which is what you need most until you are geared to the wazoo anyway so BoF remains are very strong set for PuG'ing CN/MC.
