White Mage: You should DPS and here's why.

[Varok899]

One second more shouldn't make that big a difference. And if it does, then perhaps Stance danceing isn't the answer.

Right.. only a 1 second difference per cast, not big at all...

Stoneskin is very inefficient to use mid fight unless youre healing a warrior with a lot of HP and even then there is better ways to do it. At my gear level a stoneskin is about as effective as a Cure 1 on any tank with around 5300 hp(less than that Cure 1 is better) and that costs half the mp and is a second quicker to cast. Of course there are some moments where a stoneskin mid fight can be very helpful, like mountain buster, but for a dungeon trash pull? No..

You're better off just casting a Regen, if your tank has some gear this can be enough to keep him alive on 1-2 mob pulls which gives you a lot of time to help dps. If I'm playing with a geared tank that knows what he's doing ill just throw on a Divine Seal + regen combo after hes got aggro and I can dps for the whole trash pull, every pull... Its just so much more effective than stoneskin..

Seriously more WHM need to use Divine seal like.. all the time. Its got a huge uptime with such a low cooldown.
