Lightwell is a healing spell that can be acquired from the Holy talent tree, and is a 31-point talent. While situationally a very powerful spell on a health/mana basis, it is generally considered to be a lackluster talent, often jokingly referred to as "lolwell", and is rarely taken.

Tips and tactics
Lightwell enables free healing for non-tanks that are in need of one while the priest has to focus the heals on another character, and/or can also be used to help warlocks recover mana in long fights, since they can use it to heal themselves after Life Tapping for mana.
This method definitely saves a lot of mana that would normally be spent on heals. Using this spell during fights against a boss or while recovering from a wipe definitely pays off the rather long cooldown.
Controversy
Previous complaints included both a lack of effect from a priest's +heal, and the ability of a confused or malicious party member to take all the charges by repeatedly right-clicking on the Lightwell.
In patch 2.2.0, these complaints were addressed, with mixed results: While Lightwell now gets 100% benefit from +healing, most members of the party--except the caster--can still spam click it.
However, the primarily complaint is that the healing you receive from using the Lightwell breaks on damage, similar to using a bandage. Since Lightwell would be most powerful in AoE heavy fights, in order to heal the dps classes while allowing the healer to focus on the tank, this is a risky time to use it since if the dps classes receive more damage while using the lightwell then it won't heal them very much.
