Ok because Im sorta retarded, anyone mind explaining to me what the -2% spell coeficcient w/e actually does? I just dont understand. ALSO, mana sheild works on physical AND magic* dmg now, so Im definetly happy with the trade off. No more spamming mana sheild against casters just to make myself think Im gunna survive . *Underlined because I think this change is kickass!

Now with new changes, improved frostbolt and improve fireball reduce the amount of spell damage you receive from your gear by 2% per rank.
So in your case, Mal, if you have 5/5 improved fireball, while you'll be casting faster, your +dmg gear will take a -10% hit. Only to your fireball though, not all your spells.
I guess to answer your actual question though: The co-efficient is the % of spell damage your spells receive which are based on things like base casting time, snaring effects and so on.
For example: if you have +100 spell damage gear and casting a base fireball, you'd receive the full damage as the co-efficient for fireball is 100%. Frostbolt, on the other has about an 80% damage co-efficient and therefore the same mage with the +100 damage gear would only be getting +80 spell damage.
I believe that should cover it. If I said things in an odd way and you're still confused, just let me know and I'll try explaining it in a different way.

...Looks like theres no more point in going as a HW shaman with the redux of the casting time you also take a hit to +heal/+dmg unless it only affects mages.

I believe it only affects those two mage spells and talents.

Do the glowing trinkets show me a way home, or simply a glowing path for some one else to follow?
