That can happen if one of them is enchanted and the other is not. Example 1: You have gloves enchanted with +healing equipped. A new set of gloves drop. HealPoints assumes that you will enchant the new gloves with the same +healing enchant when comparing them. Example 2: You have unenchanted gloves equipped and look at a set of gloves enchanted with +healing. HealPoints does not assume that you will enchant the already equipped pair.

I'm working on the next version. I'm waiting on the PTR to be available again so I can do more testing there.

That's because LinkWrangler uses non-standard tooltips.

But take a look at http://downloads.curse.com/details/8014/ (Not made by me and not tested by me)

It should work just as you want it to, but there's a few reasons why it's not 100% perfect.

1. It doesn't track changes in set bonuses or meta gems.

2. Rounding errors. Example: You have a talent that increase intellect by 10%. You currently have 400,4 points of intellect, rounded to 400. The item you look at will increase your intellect by 4, increased to 4,4 by the talent. HealPoints calculates the new intellect to 404,4 and rounds to 404. If you put it on, you get 404,8 => 405. So it's not that HealPoints doesn't support these types of talents/abilities, but that it doesn't know about any rounding that has already been done on the intellect you had before. (Hope that made sense...) Any discrepancies because of rounding, should be pretty low as it's just +/-1 in a single stat.

3. Bugs. I'm not aware of any outstanding bugs at the moment, so feel free to report any you find. If you turn on debug mode (check the FuBar/Minimap menu), helpful info will be printed to the console.

That's only on the first login. For later logins of the same character, HealPoints will be automatically disabled and the error message disappears. Still, I'll fix it in the next version.

Sounds like a bug with the set bonus calculation. I'll look into it.

Check my response to Nullify below for a bit about how HealPoints works.

It's hard for me to say as it depends on which other gear you have equipped and which class you play. Keep in mind that HealPoints considers healing stats only, so the 24 stamina from the Grand Restorer ring isn't considered. So it's really +1 spirit and +7 mp5 vs. 23 intellect and 13 +healing.

HealPoints does not use a system where each stat is given a specific weight. So it's not possible to (directly) adjust HealPoints to which stats you like most. This is because I don't think static stat weights is a good idea. To make an extreme example: Assume one healer with +0 healing and 200 mp5 and another with +1500 healing and 0 mp5. The first could really use more +healing, while mp5 would be more useful for the second. In essence, I think how good an item is, depends on the other items you have equipped.

Instead HealPoints contains a "healing simulator" that estimates how much you can heal in 6 minutes (default settings) using your current stats. And HealPoints considers gear that lets you heal more, to be an upgrade. You can adjust the "healing simulator" using the config window. There you can select which spells to use and duration to compute healing for.

If you primarily heal in PvP, you can for example set EndurancePoint duration to 0, and increase PowerPoint duration a bit (typical Arena match length, for example). This will probably make HealPoints value spell crit higher and mp5 lower (power more important, endurance less important).

As for the 2% crit bonus from the Arena gloves... This bonus listed directly in the calculator window (compare HL crit and FoL crit and you'll see). That's why it's not listed in "List special bonuses". It's only meant for bonuses that would otherwise be hard to check if are detected.
