It's a random (i.e. rare) effect which gives you a 10% mana savings; GH would cost 135m instead of 150m.

Pretty sure spec is not random. I used to be a druid on live and if Scirocco posted it, you could bank on it being the way it worked.

In case link doesn't work, here is copy of text.

There are no "specialization checks". You get a certain mana savings every time you cast, based on your spec skill level, and also on your SCM skill.

Basic Specialization Savings (for 50 and 200 spec):
50 = 3% savings EVERY TIME, no check performed
200 = 11% savings every time

SCM1, add 2% savings (5% or 13%)
SCM2, add 5% savings (8% or 16%)
SCM3, add 10% savings (13% or 21%)
