My cleric got the earring of dimensional imprisonment which has the same effect "Blessing of the holy" a while back. I've noticed that the only time the focus affect proc's is during group heals. It does not proc during any of my other heals, which is realy stupid considering the hardness of the genie encounter. I even stripped the char down to cast just heals to make sure nothing was blocking it. If its a bug, it needs to be fixed, if its not a bug than this is focus is really shabby and useless.

Same reason high end plate BP's have Brass mods. You attempt to make the item desireable to multiple classes, that way loot doesn't rot nearly as often. Makes content valid longer.
Instant lifetaps are split into two effects. One is a detrimental instant spell. The other is a beneficial instant spell. As anyone who has played a necro or SK can tell you, the Improved Healing focus effects do help the heal portion of the lifetap.
