"kinda suck" in comparison to what may I ask?
- Below threshold.

but ofcourse you're gonna slot them, and with two good gems they're not that far off from tier4gloves. awesome upgrade for me who had transcendence at that moment.

If you actually do the calculations, you will realize these are the best gloves available, behind tier 4. Let's compare these to the ever-popular Prismatic Mittens of Mending (23 int, 26 stam, 55+heal, 5mp5)

If you put a +18 gem and a +9heal/2mp5 gem into the gloves of saintly blessing, and take into account the spiritual guidance talent, and improved divine spirit buff (which every raid should have) you get
33
+18
+ 9
+ 7 (socket bonus)
+ 7 (spirit healing bonus)
74 total +healing

So let's do a final comparison
By upgrading to the epics from the blue mittens, you gain:

+19 healing
+22 spirit
+ 1 stamina,

and lose:

3 intellect
3 mp5

So, they are actually quite powerful gloves, if you look at it right.

When you go through your comparison, do you take into account the spiritual guidance talent and improved divine spirit buff on the Prismatic Mittens of Mending?
I think when yo do, your final comparison might come out slightly different.
Not that I think Prismatic Mittens of Mending are superior, just would like to normalize the comparison to show the actual apples to apples benefit.
With my spec, I prefer spirit & +heals to MP5 & Int so Gloves of Saintly Blessings are far superior for me, but for some, the choice may not be as cut and dry as you present.

  You don't get extra healing from the Mittens via Imp Divine Spirit and Spiritual Guidance, because the Mittens lack spirit.
  
  These are a definite upgrade for me, but I think the mileage you get from them is largely dependent on your spec.
  
  For me they'd be
  
  74.7 Healing
  5 mp5 inside FSR
  19 mp5 outside FSR
  
  But I have Imp DS, Spiritual Guidance, Meditation and 3/3 Primal Mooncloth.

Below threshold.

Gott them on my guilds first time in karazhan. Gona get 2 18+ healing gems to them and a 35+ healing enchant...

and i was on like every kill of our guild and this boss (maybe 7or so) and it never dropped:) lucky you

imo these gloves are great! Tier 4 does not have slots,so its harder to get enough gems for metagems to work. It got good stats as well,i like them

Below threshold.

I guess it better to put two 9heal/2mp5 gems on it. imo

yea after gettin these puppies slotted out, theyre quite nice!

These are getting a nice buff in patch 2.1.0 making them worthwhile getting.

It's sad that these epic gloves that you get from a raid are not that much better than blue gloves from a non-heroic Tempest Keep instance. And not even the hardest instance in Tempest Keep. It seems as though Blizzard just made them "Epic" just becaue they drop in a raid instance.

With that said, now that 2.1 has been release, Gloves of Saintly Blessings are better than Prismatic Mittens of Mending. And depending on how you spec, they can be MUCH better.

Sta = 27
Int = 25
Spi = 25
Healing = 65 (40 from gloves, 7 from socket bonus, 18 from Royal Nightseye x 2)
Regen = 4 (from Royal Nightsere x 2)

Comparison
Sta = +4
Int = -1
Spi = +25
Healing = +10
Regen = -3

Pretty good!

Now let's add in other things to make these gloves better. The following items assume you are specced a certain way and that you have certain other gear.

Full Spiritual Guidance (Increase healing by 25% of Spirit) = 6.25

Divine Spirit (Increase healing by 10% of Spirit) = 2.5

Meditation (15% of Mana Regeneration to continue while casting.) This is kinda tricky and correct me if I'm wrong, but the generally accepted mana regen rate is 13 + spi/4 = mana per tick. Since we are only talking about the DIFFERENCE, we are only concerned with how the 25 spirit affects regen so:
25/4 = 6.25 mana per tick. Since a tick is 2 seconds, to get mp5, we divide by 2 then multiply by 5.
(6.25/2)*5 = 15.625 mana per 5 seconds. While casting, our talent gives us 15% mana regen so:
15.625*.15 = 2.343 mp5

Then add bonus from Primal Mooncloth (which many of us have) 5% of mana to continue while casting.
Same info as above, but we multiply by .05 instead of .15
15.625*.05 = .78

WHEW.

So, from talents and other gear, we add:
Healing = 8.75
Regen = 2.11

FINAL COUNT
Sta = 27
Int = 25
Spi = 25
Healing = 74 (roughly)
Regen = 6

FINAL COMPARISON
Sta = +4
Int = -1
Spi = +25
Healing = +19
Regen = -1

Below threshold.

throw a +18 healing and +9 healing/2 mp5 gem and a 35 healing enchant and youve got yourself a nice pair of mittens

These are great gloves for Holy Priests.
