Hands down for PvE resto.
As they said in the old days: AINEC. And it's not even close.
Use it.

I use the Insightful Earthsiege currently, however there is an alternative;

A gem that grants intellect is never a terribly bad idea, especially one that can scale with your gear.

Meta:
* Restore 600 mana
* 15-second cool down
* Wowhead lists a 2% chance to proc. However, it also lists 2% for and the actual proc rate for IED was 5% (or 3.85% if you took the hidden 15-second cool down into account).
* If spamming Chain Heal (2.5 sec cast) you can expect to get 50 mp5. If you are spamming Lesser Healing Wave (1.5 sec cast) you can expect to get 70 mp5. The gem is quite powerful for its ability to scale with the speed at which you cast heals.
*
You would need to have 3,654 Intellect
for to be a better choice.
And AFAIK this was written
before
the Replenishment nerf.

Hands down for any healer, really.

Ember Skyflare only becomes better when the extra 2% intellect provides more mana return (via replenishment / mana tide) then Insightful's proc.
No, it becomes better when you don't have any reason to gem for mana return.

True. But keep in mind that +21int and +2% int are roughly equivalent. So the real difference is 25 spellpower vs 50 mp5. You will rarely ever want to trade 50 mp5 to get only 25 sp in return. Yes, if you never ever run into mana troubles that is a good thing to do. But the meta gem should be the absolutely last item you switch, only do it when you already went for maximum throughput with all your other gear (enchants, gems, trinkets).

if you have 1000 intellect, then this will give you 20 intellect, i think that its quite bad than
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=41401

It depends on your gear. At the end of Naxx I was getting 31int from that 2%. The real difference also depends on your gear, because 15% of that int is also spellpower.
Personally this metagem is already the very last mana return I have, and if I had a spare helm I would've replaced it since the only time it's even necessary for me is in 5-10man where I don't get replenishment.
