You guys have all been going on about 'its a pot' and 'use this after LS'. They are all ways it can be seen to improve you stats for a sustained amount of time.

Think of the Huhuran fight where ALL HELL breaks loose at 30%. Now use your head. 2 tanks, both with LS and LGG (and SW ofc).

31% comes, the slept melee dps awaken and GOGOGOGOGO!!!!

Tank1 pops Nature Pot, LS THEN LGG THEN Shield Wall
Tank 2 keeps 5 seconds overlap and does the same as Tank1 at transition (except for popping the NR pot at 31%

The order is important for the amount of life you gain and time you have it for. The NR pot keeps u alive while you pop Last Stand, which gives a percentage health gain. THEN you pop Lifegiving Gem because it HEALS for a % of your CURRENT health after adding its 15% to the gain you just got from Last Stand. THEN you pop Shield Wall to sustain the increased health you have for the Race to 0% = GLORY FOR ALL!!!!

In any situation however, ALWAYS LS THEN LGG for best use

Got this a few weeks ago. It really does help for tanking nasty bosses. Saved my ass when we were fighting chrommie as out MT died at 12% so I ran in as I was OTing and as the healing was not on be due to the rapid tank switch I popped that, last stand and shield wall. Had around 14k hp and was laughing. Probably never needed all that but better safe than sorry :D.

For normal fights it's basically a potion with a 5 min cooldown. So in a fight you have this, then if you are still in trouble, pop last stand, then a health stone, then you have a major healing potion as well as shield wall to fall back on too. Very nice trinket and just gives you alot more fallbacks if the healing gets light at particular points.

This is so good for Vaelastras BA it makes me cry. We killed him recently with only three warriors dead, if we all had this, maybe we could have done it with only two. Three MTs have Last Stand, btw.

And no, we didnt use any Flasks or potions, as we had three more warriors queued up and ready to die.

I recently got this and it first heals you for 15% of your total hp then it boosts your hp by 15% (which is also healed). So the extra 15% you gain is temporary but you still get a heal.

Is it just me or is the second portion of this trinket pretty much worthless...

The only time you'll use it is in combat, and then it won't matter what your max health is for 20 sec.

The only people I see making decent use out of this gem is for priests, druids, pallies and shaman... those who can immediately heal themselves for the extra life... of course by the time they are healed fully a good chunk of that 20 sec will be gone anyway..

IMHO, this item wasn't well thought out.

...This is like Dull Pain in City of Heroes?

that is definatly a BWL item. No place else will there be items this good.
