Red =
Spell Power
Blue =
Spell Power + MP5
Yellow =
Spell Power + Intelligence
That's when the socket bonus is worth anything or for meta-gem triggering; else it's just straight Spell Power.

I socket pure intellect, using my prismatic gems to make sure I get the socketing bonus if it is a good one. The most important stat for a restoration shaman is intellect as it provides the greatest overall effect in the form of:
1: More spellpower from the nature's blessing talent
2: Greater mana pool
3: Mp5 due to the Replenishment buff that is produced by certain class specs such as ret paladins, shadow priests, and survival hunters. These classes will always be present in a raiding situation.
4: Spell critical strike rating which means I will get even more improved watershield procs as well as more powerful heals.
If you do not have the means to be able to use prismatic gems, I suggest gemming +19 spellpower and 8 intellect/3mp5 as an alternative for socket and meta gem purposes.
