For those who don't know what's going on:
Arcane Surge is the Scryer rep proc effect from the Shattered Sun Offensive's healing necklace. It's an increasingly underwhelming effect that applies additional heals on your target. So if you heal so-and-so for X amount, it has a chance to proc and heal your target for an additional 600-700. This amount is not effected by +heal, if your heal critical'd (though the amount of heal will be higher you've spec'd into crit), or anything else of the nature. It simply has a chance to proc an additional heal between those numbers.
When I got the necklace, I wasn't sure it was working because unlike the Aldor reputation effect, it has no graphic display. Then eventually I started thinking: how does this work with chain heal?
I figured it either proc'd and divided the heal across the three people, or it simply proc'd and healed the first person in the chain. Little did I know, I was horribly wrong and it was even more useless than I thought.
I gathered a warlock in IF and cast chain heal across me, them, and their pet until the neck proc'd. Eventually I realised after three procs that Arcane Surge only effects one person in the chain, and the person it effects in the chain is completely and totally random. And now I am sad and disappointed and wish I had chosen Aldor instead.
At least I have a hott tabard that isn't purple.
Eh, not as comforting as I thought.
