    I appreciate the well thought out reply, it's a nice change from the "LOL OMG" responses that happen in many forums as a whole. I will also definitely take some of these thoughts in mind and refine my SR tactics on SCH as I get more time to do so.

    Some comments I thought I'd bring up:
    -Graniteskin from WHM should be equivalent to Adlo (assuming no crit if reapplying while running) + Stoneskin from a SCH thanks to the additional 8%. This can have some implication depending or not if your tank decides to tag mobs for enmity on the way in or not. If no tagging, a crit Aldo + Stoneskin from SCH will be more beneficial as you will most likely sprinting to the camp spot. If tagging, a WHM can reapply Stoneskin twice more during the run to the first camp spot, SCHs may only be able to pick between Adlo or Stoneskin doing this (most likely Adlo).
    -Holy should far surpass SCHs AoE contribution during the trash pulls. You're talking about a spell that does 200 potency of damage each spell. Within that 30 seconds, you're able to Holy 10 times for 10 * 200 = 2,000 potency of damage versus SCHs 390 in the same period of time. This doesn't include the fact you've now add 10 seconds of 100% mitigation thanks to Stun on the mobs (will contribute more versus 15 seconds of 15% from Sacred Soil or the 5% slow from Shadow Flare for 30 seconds). You've probably also reduce the amount of times you need to kill that pack, thus making an appreciable difference in amount of healing required (though Selene will do this as well in a 2x BLM grouping).

    It doesn't change the fact that SCHs will be able to contribute more because their toolkit is better designed for multi-role functionality and better single target heals/damage, however, I did want to bring these nuances to the table because a WHM toolkit can still accomplish SR goals in a different but comparable way. I'd like to think I can do WHM SRs as well as I do SCH SRs, but I will try to change my tactics a bit on my next few runs and see what I can shave off in the end. Once again, thank you for your post.
