Seed+SoA is wonderful, I tried it out yesterday. Thanks for pointing out how it works, it should have been clearer in the description IMO.

The invulnerability effect is quite obvious and combines very well with Seed. I saw it heal our Ghostly to full after being at 10%~ life with Seed and SoA.

I replaced Sig of devo with it, as the builds running rampant in halls don't allow for 2 second skills (seed being an exception. Should run Healer's Boon on the Heal monk..hmmmm....).

Edit: SoA was exceptionally hilarious against the 5 monk, 1 assassin smite gimmick... 20dmg 15dmg, 10dmg, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0...

You don't need a superior to hit 15.

No you don't but even using a major is quite icky since you're basicly trading 35 life for something like an extra 2hp heal from seed and maybe 4 per healing spell. Not worth it IMO :/

[hex] has held at least 30 or 40 times in HA tonight, they are using it

There's no point in giving up that much health for an extra 4 health a heal or so. It may not seem like it, but that extra health is most of the time more beneficial than healing for an extra 4 (most monks overheal in HA anyway, I know I do with +8 energy from channeling, which makes that extra few points quite useless.)

I can give you a quick example.

Superior Rune
You're the only monk alive with 15 seconds left. You start to seed the ghost but an opposing teams ghost power shots you for 162 health, and being the only monk alive, and at low health, you die without being able to cast the seed, the two teams kill your ghost, put up song of concentration, and one of them caps at 1 second.

Minor Rune
You're the only monk alive with 15 seconds left. You start to seed the ghost but an opposing teams ghost power shots you for 162. You are left with 23 health, but you get the seed off. The opposing teams monk wands you to death, then all the damage is focused on the ghost, but they are unable to kill it. They finally kill it with 4 seconds left, but by then it's too late to cap.

Different when you look at it from another perspective eh?

Sup Rune:
You Get DP'd and your Useless

Minor:
You have 30% more health, making you less useless

Monks with sup runes are a NO, Just say No! Kids!

Ive been using it in HA and works like a charm, cast it on your ghost when everyone is trying to kill him and you will see how good it is

Or on a player, or on yourself, it really works well, even if you aren't taking heaps of damage it's nice damage reduction.

Good skill, im always taking it on my prot monk now. Specially effective vs heavy melee pressure, a real energy saviour.
