Its a tossup to which is less fun. Bolts or Bards.

I am sure this is no easy feat and requires all kinds of pain in the ass testing as you go.

How things should function:
(in either order)
->Bard procs tash from orb of tishan.
->Enchanter casts any tash spell

Both are up on target.

From here:
-> Another bard procs tash orb on same mob... overwrites existing BARD tash
-> Another enchanter casts equal/higher tash -> overwrites ENCHANTER tash


The same applies to beneficial spells:
->Bard item clicks shield of flame on self or other target
->mage is able to shield of lava bard or other target
(both are on target)
->another bard tries, but it overwrites the bard casted version

I think I outlined the expected behavior pretty well and it would be a very impressive fix to put in place.

The low down and dirty is that there should be stacking of "bard" and "other" when considering what to overwrite on a target.

Our bards on live were loved and feared on raids/pvp.... and tash orbs were extremely valuable items.
