I noticed a new passive ability Prolonged Salve: This passive ability extends the duration of your heal-over-time spells by 1 tick per rank. Did we get a new heal line, a true HoT? If not, what spells does this AA prolong? .........or am I misunderstanding something?
Druids mentioned that we did not possess any heal over time spells. Elidroth responded with a single word -- fixed. We have no clue what was fixed or how he fixed it; there hasn't been a single word on the subject from him since.
Other responses seem to indicate they removed the "Spells that use mana only" restriction. Its not in the description anymore. That could mean it works on Wood, Convergence, Copius Healing, etc. Then again, maybe not, since the former abilities got their own extension as well.
Well, apparently not fixed to included non-mana abilities. Tossed 9 AA on the fire to test it out (to save you the trouble of counting, Wood lasted 10 ticks before and after Prolonged): [Fri Apr 19 11:01:28 2013] You begin casting Spirit of the Wood.

It may not even be anything to do with your mana requirement. Prolonged Salve is completely broken, for every class that has it. Has never worked in beta, went live still broken. It makes no difference at all to any cleric spell or AA, so I wouldn't expect it to do anything for yours either... if it's even meant to still be there or not.
It eats a few of your banked AA points when you purchase the ability. That's the entirety of what it does.
