Yes, I can spam Holy (which is the SECOND more powerful attack after Flare), but I don't have Umbral Ice to instantly recover all my MPs, I will waste 500 MP out of 4000, and this is not what I want.
I tried to use Holy, and the difference is INSIGNIFICANT. Stop saying that Holy is powerful, because it's really slow and expensive, and this makes it really weak.

No, Holy is *the* best attack by most people's standards. Flare may have more potency but you're getting two off then you're done. Holy can be spammed 10 times in succession, easily. There's a reason some of the best speed runs are 3xWHM, PLD. Having Holy crit for 1.2k on multiple targets is not insignificant. If you hate DPSing as a healer, fine. Even ask for nerfs if you want so it really becomes insignificant, but saying spamming Holy isn't speeding up a SR tremendously is flat wrong.

EDIT due to char limit: Also, with a 3x WHM, PLD setup, you can do 1 pull, boss, 1 pull, boss, 1 pull, boss. DS regen x3 is more than enough to keep the tank topped off during each trash pull, and you have 3 benedictions as a crutch that aren't affected by cleric's stance. You really just have a, "I don't want to DPS" stance and instead of simply saying, "I'm a healer, I only want to heal, not DPS" you're trying to say what has been proven mathematically, anecdotally, and statistically true is incorrect because:

It doesn't make you any less wrong, though.

You yourself stated a lot of times you're sitting there, and that's without even trying to DPS and heal both. Heck, let's go by your assumption you're only somehow going to get like 9 nukes off in a dungeon, and we'll say stone II's, not even using a swiftcast holy on a big pull before healing... 9x600 = 5400. Not a huge difference, but given you're still sitting there doing nothing more than DPSing... Now take that and say, ten runs of WP to cap for the week. 54,000 damage. Now multiply that by how many weeks you've been doing WP.

And that's using YOUR skewed, "OMG no one can DPS a good portion of a dungeon and heal!", which has been proven wrong. I would go so far to say any WHM who only gets off 9 Stone II's has a terrible group or really didn't want to try contributing to DPS, be it laziness, hating DPS, or whatever.
