DPS need to burn as hard as humanly possible to alleviate the strain as quickly as possible. This is tantamount to having the appropriate gear level to make these kinda pulls happen. When setting up a PF for it, my FC tends to stick to i85+, but my own BLM is only about 82 or 83 and we still do just fine.

    Depending on your setup, one type of healer is better than the other. When I run as WAR BLM DRG, I find WHM can easily shave 40-50 seconds off the run thanks to the power of Holy. In a double BLM setup, SCH is more beneficial because Selene spell speed buff means faster kills on the groups.Pick and choose your healer based on the scenario given - both have the capability to do it, just one may be better than the other depending on party composition. Finally, the party as a whole need to be geared and skilled to have success at it and speed runs aren't in everyone's blood.
    WHM is the superior healer for Bray. On the first pull a pld can HG and you can get 4 Cleric Stance Holys in. With a WAR, you can holy until vengeance is off. On the second pull you don't have to heal either tank. Divine Seal Medica 2 -> Regen the tank, swift cleric Holy, presence of mind Holy spam. A good WHM can potentially out dps a blm on the second pull if they die in under 20seconds.

    Furthermore, WAR is the better tank for berserk/bloodbath overpower spam. WHM/WAR/BLM/BRD(BLM) have given me the best results while I worked on my animus.

    Don't agree. If your WAR is wearing some DPS gear and spec'd into STR he can do a buttload of damage with the SS buff from Selene. It speeds up the run by a goodly amount. Of course even the average WAR can do a lot. Selene has flat percentage buffs which — lets just keep this simple — gives about a 10% boost to everyone's damage and the SCH's heal output.

    When it comes to DPS SCH can use shadow flare plus bio, bio2, mia and bane. A good SCH switches on cleric stance for a lot of the run because their best heal is percentage based, not mind based. Using sacred soil(10% damage reduction for everyone inside of it) on the second big pull helps, but they'll have to sacrifice a bit of DPS for it. With a geared group things die fast and one or two lustrate's on the tank and a succor tends to be enough. The rest of the time they can spend DPSing.
