The Glyph effect reads "increases the effect of your siphon life spell by 20%"
There's two ways I could read this:
a) Increases the overall effect of siphon life talent by 20% (Ie, take it from 40% healing and 5% increased damage to 48% healing and 6% increased damage)
b) or adding to the healing ratio (From 40% healing to 60% healing).
Interestingly, I have tested it with and without glyph, and odly enough the glyph seems to be having a purely detrimental effect.
With no buffs on
Normal Corruption Tick Damage: 1187 (2374 crit)
Normal Corruption Tick Healing: 475 (950 crit)
Glyphed Corruption Tick Damage: 1178 (2322 crit)
Glyphed Corruption Tick Healing: 471 (929 crit)
Tests were preformed on a wolf under dalaran unglyphed, then flew up to dalaran, added the glyph without changing anything else, and used it on a treant under dalaran. Its possible the drop in damage could be a difference between using the spell on a wolf vs a treant, but I know of no abilities either mob should possess to cause it to tick differently. No armor spell or other buff were active for the test.
