Absorbs from Savage Defense are counted as heals

I was a little surprised looking at our logs recently, as I had out-healed one of our healers. I'm a tank! Quite hilarious, but not quite right either.
(And yes, the healer was doing a bad job).

It turns out that the damage that Savage Defense absorbs, now gets counted as a heal. This has a few consequences for the various graphs;

If I compare my damage taken to that of (for example) a warrior, I find that every hit damages me for 100%, while for the warrior his shield absorbs a lot of damage (or is it parries these days - seems to have changed). My Savage Defense also absorbs damage, but it doesn't end up in that graph. See: http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/qc37 ... details/3/ (look for Haramrae).
I end up in the top 4 or 5 on the healing charts; see: http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/89hp ... =663&e=912.

OTOH, if I view the combat logs as they are available on the site, I can see that the absorbs are definitely taken into account as such: http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/qc37 ... 358&e=1674

This used to work alright IIRC. I think it started working like it does now with patch 4.0?
