We'll continue to look at overall tuning throughout beta, especially after such a significant change. But it was most important at the moment to get the L100 row to something more reasonably conducive to having competitive options in different situations. In addition, we didn't like the somewhat tacked-on mastery bonus to Beacon of the Lightbringer. It undermined one use case of the talent, namely, partially opting out of the importance of positioning for Lightbringer. When discussing alternatives, it became clear that we should not actually have to find a large passive healing bonus to add to any talent, simply for the purpose of competing with Beacon of Faith. It's better to make the change now, with a reasonable starting point for the offsetting tuning changes that would obviously be necessary after a such a change, and have the rest of beta to reconcile the tuning.
Rule of Law is a new concept and we're open to feedback on how it plays or how useful it winds up being. We are planning to add default UI support for the changed range, and we recognize it may be difficult to use naturally until then (aside for Druids: the same is true of Balance Affinity). We also want it to affect all spells that you expect to be able to use on people that are shown as within range (Cleanse, Blessing of Protection, etc.).
