When under the effects of PI, 25% of damage done is subtracted from the player receiving it and credited to the Priest casting it. There was a similar ability in the past I think for Ret Paladin that went on someone else but counted for you.
Advantages:
-You see the actual benefit the Priest brings, instead of just super powering someone else and skewing logs.
-It doesn’t affect its power at all, so organized groups will still use it in exactly the same way.
-Healing Priests will be far less likely to forget about it in pugs (yes this happens a lot).
-It prevents stacking of PI for ridiculous damage parses on one player.
-Shows you who your selfish players are if they don’t want it anymore, since it should be a slight decrease in damage (25% haste generally isn’t 25% damage).
-Prevents specs (e.g. Demo Lock, Fire Mage) from appearing way stronger than they are and receiving nerfs.
Disadvantages:
-With the twins legendary available to Shadow, they might end up looking hilariously overpowered. But then if they’re actually “responsible” for that much damage by bringing a buff then they should get credit for it and be balanced appropriately. In a more organized group this would already be an issue as you’d want to make sure you paired up a Shadow Priest with a Demo Lock or Fire Mage.
-A raid could have more Priests than good PI targets, causing strife when deciding who is going to PI whom.
-The Priest’s DPS is dependent on how good their PI target is. This should not be a huge issue for healing Priests but it could be for Shadow.
EDIT: This could also simply be done on Warcraftlogs if Blizzard themselves are unable to do it, but I am unsure of the best place to post suggestions for it.

This is more of an addon creator/third party information tracking issue. Since there isn’t anything like this in the default ui.
Blizzard designs and balances the game with supportive abilities in mind.

PI is going to go to both the priest and the target in DF, as far as I’m aware. Unless they changed the talent again.
EDIT: sort of misread your thread (it’s early, I’m stupid).
Ok. Lets expand on this.
I want it for windfury also.
Maybe we can do this for the mage int buff, while we at it.

Slap Hero on while we’re at it.
I was so sure there was a way to track aDPS vs rDPS in WoW, but I may have been lost in fflogs for too long.

Windfury maybe? But that’s a group buff. Int is something you’re just expected to have and is a full raid buff. PI is an issue because you can have two people in the same raid doing drastically different DPS simply because one is getting PI.
I think windfury damage should go to the shaman too. And it would be way easy to make it do so. The thing is since it’s a group buff generally most of your melee dps can get it as long as there one enhancement shaman in a 20m raid people don’t care as much. But definitly arms warriors care a lot when it can be up to 7-9% of their dps, you generally don’t want to play arms unless you get an enhance shaman.
I mean. Yeah? I guess I dont have an issue with that. If I know someone of my spec gets PI (sorry, had to laugh at the thought of an enh sham getting PI in a raid), then I just dont look at those logs for a direct comparison. I can’t even look at those logs for a direct comparison if any of the damage is moved to the priest.
No, because that’s something that multiple classes bring and is expected in every raid group. I have literally never done a raid without Lust/Hero. Though it would be funny to see the race to push the button earlier for the parse and end up using it before the pull timer even starts.

My thought process exactly 
Chaos.
The base game doesn’t “credit” anyone with any damage. It simply logs how much damage every attack does. There’s no reward or scoring system for doing damage in WoW. If you’re looking to assign a score to damage contributions in a party then you should be having this conversation on WarcraftLogs, not here.

I HAVE seen times where the RL is calling “Lust Lust Lust” for the entire duration of a burn phase with multiple shaman and mages, so maybe it would be nice.

Maybe the RL was just REALLY down bad.

I like the idea, but something tells me implementing this in a way that makes sense must be difficult or they would have done it already.
Also I PI myself with boon, I do more damage than these limp wrist DPS.
Sometimes the haze of execute phase has you so bad you feel like you’re lusting.

There’s no change needed on blizzard’s part. It’s the addons that would need to do it.
You people are the reason we can never have anything nice in this game anymore.
My garrison was on its way to looking nice until maint hit 
I’ve noticed a couple of new PI threads pop up today after a period of relative silence after WarcraftLogs had their poll. Did a streamer mention it or something?
Wowhead made a post, a pretty good one if I can say.
