Just wanted to confirm this:

Versatility affects the healing you do, not the healing you receive. So when you cast PW:S on someone, it will be buffed by YOUR versatility.


Yes.

As for versatility being better than mastery for Shadow ... in my opinion, it depends. For Shadow PvP, or Mythic raiding - where survival is much more important - it can definitely be quite valuable.
