Just read this on wowhead:

"By Jaidean 3 days ago (Patch 3.1.0)
This ability is incredibly useful on XT-002 Deconstructor. Using Divine Sacrifice and bubble, you can mitigate a great deal of damage during his tantrum. Currently, from what another paladin and I have discovered, the "up to 150% of the paladin's health" doesn't count if you have bubble active.

So, for 10 seconds, you get 30% (40% talented) of raid-wide mitigation."


"By Planck 1 day ago (Patch 3.1.0)
This is true. I tried it yesterday in a couple 25-man XT-002 attempts. It keeps "sucking" up 30% damage while under the effect of Divine Shield or Hand of Protection.
40% is enough to mitigate enough damage so that when the tantrum is over everyone in range will be alive since that takes 120% of everyones damage, 120-40=80% so everyone will come out alive with atleast 20% hp left."

Not sure if this is intended or not, but ive read many confirmations about this in other places, so its definantly working this way. Haven't heard any plans on changing it either.
