I may be going nuts, but I can't seem to find this anywhere...
I respecced to Holy from Prot over the weekend to fill a need in our regular 5-man group. Looking over the details of my new Talents, I wondered: With Spiritual Focus 5 and Concentration Aura running, will Flash of Light and Holy Light be uninterruptible in combat by regular attack interruption?

Yes.

Yes.
While I hadn't tried it I always assumed it was multiplicative where you would have only 30% chance of interruption after your talents and then a 65% of that because of Concentration for a total of 19.5% chance of being interrupted. I would love for it to be additive though which would make it have a 0% chance of interruption. The only other way would be for the buffs not to stack at all and you to still have 30% chance of interruption but I really doubt that is the case.

Well, no. You're basing this on the belief that the chance to not lose casting time is multiplied, when in actuality it is added.
Concentration Aura
offers a 35% chance to not lose casting time when struck.
Spiritual Focus
, when maxed out, offers a 70% chance not to lose casting time.
70% + 35% = 105% not to lose casting time for paladins.
If they were multiplied by one another, 70 * .35 = 24.5, which, added to 70, equals 94.5% chance not to lose casting time. However, Concentration Aura and Spiritual Focus do not work like most effects (for example, Crusader Aura) and therefore offer a complete and utter chance to not lose casting time.

Damn it, I can hear the nerf bat swinging already...
This is the best news I've gotten all day. Thanks Avallen :)
