In regards to HPS, it would have to hit 9 people to be as efficient as Innervate, which is impossible. I expected a little better from the top talent of the healing tree.

I would suggest not being too hard on this spell as it's really turned out to be pretty much indispensable in hard mode ops fights ... to the point where our Ops group won't run without a sorc for this very spell and sometimes have 2 Rev's makes some things ridiculously easy.

Where this spell is strong is simply in the GDC department. There are many mechanics where either the entire raid, or a large chunk of the raid take damage, and you simply can't stabilize the raid with single target healing.

So, you may want to rethink your trashing of this spell in the guide as any experienced sorcerer healer knows, it's one of our most valuable spells regardless of the math and is almost OP in certain circumstances.

Some of the information in the OP is out-dated, including this. Salvation/Revivification's coefficient has changed since the OP to 0.376. The Healing per Force (HPF) is not that bad either as long as you're hitting 2+ targets. (Obviously over healing and maximizing time within the area affects this.)

If you take a look at the spreadsheet I posted in the "Sorcerer healing spreadsheet" on page 2 you can see for yourself. Keep in mind the HPF numbers for Salvation/Revivification are for full duration of the spell.
