Ancestral Healing is a Shamantalent in the Restoration tree. It causes your critical heals to reduce the physical damage taken by the target healed for 15 seconds. It does not stack with the holy priest's third tier talent Inspiration.
If a tank you're healing is taking a heavy beating, you can use [Tidal Force] to greatly increase the chance of a critical heal, causing this talent to proc and thus reducing the physical damage taken by the tank.
Since the buff can be dispelled, many PvP builds spend one point in Ancestral Healing just to use it as a dispel buffer for more important buffs like [Bloodlust] or [Earth Shield].
Patch changes
Patch 3.2.0 (2009-08-04): The buff from this ability now reduces the physical damage taken by the target by 3/7/10% instead of increasing the target's armor.
