The recent patch included protection recovery being prevented from the "Healing Immunity" debuff. This makes no sense whatsoever."HEALing Immunity" deals with "HEALth" - by the very nature of the word. The developers have been very clear that protection and health are two different things. Healers cannot heal protection or affect it in any way. So why can heal immunity? I have no dog in this fight (I don't run Zeta'd clones or anyone else that benefits from this error - in fact I run Sith, who DO benefit greatly) - but it should be changed to reflect what has been the case all along - that healing (health) and protection are separate and distinct mechanics.

Also shock doesn't prevent protection recovery, which is inconsistent with healing immunity.

I'll only be fine with this change if:•Healers can heal protection•Shock prevents protection recovery

Because health and protection recovery immunity doesn't sound as cool as healing immunity, it's just a name

At no point in the game's history has anything having to do with health ever had any affect on protection. And the debuff that Sid and others have has never affected protection either.

And as you mentioned healers don't "heal" protection.

If you look at shock compared to healing immunity, you can see immunity includes protection recovery tag while shock does not

Well protection was added after healing immunity was introduced, and the update says it now prevents it correctly so it may have been intended ever since protection could be recovered
