First off, both only work on DIRECT damage spells. So neither of these will do anything for all that aoe spell damage and DoT spell damage you take in raids. Thats probably the biggest reason both talents suck (as is).
Next up, acclimation. It only has a CHANCE to work AFTER you take direct spell damage. So it does nothing for that first hit you took. And for it to actually stack up, you would basically have to have someone chain casting on you. About the only time i can think of this would really happen is in PVP.
Spell deflection, after the 3.1 nerf to Blade Barrier, chances are your parry chance is going to be around 20% or less. So you have a 20% chance of taking 30% less damage from direct damage spells only. So 1/5th of 30% less damage is around 6% less damage on average. 6% less spell damage still sounds alright, but remember its direct spell damage only and does nothing to aoe spell damage, or dots.
Its generally agreed that both these talents are crap and should be avoided.
