Additional Information:
We still feel priests are viable in PvP and are wanted as a part of Arena teams for not only their healing capabilities but also their offensive dispel capabilities.

Vampiric Embrace was changed because it was felt that it was providing too much healing. The change to the healing crit was done because this effect was an unintentional bug. It was an unwanted secondary effect that was never intended to be a part of the functionality of the spell.

We will continue to monitor feedback on these changes and look for information on player experiences with these changes from the PTRs and going forward. We are not doing major overhauls on abilities but are focusing on small changes over time and monitoring their effects on gameplay. We will be continuing to alter abilities and spells as we gather feedback from both internal testing and player feedback.
