WHM vs. SCH -- What is the basic difference.

[Okashii]

Its usually the SCH responsibility to keep up stoneskin on most fights. I know WHM get the trait that enhances the % of hp , however, we (SCHs) have MANA for days and it can drain your mp if youre not careful.

In my group, sch never uses stoneskin. Why wouldn't the whm just use it for the big incoming attacks like Ravensbeak? Other than that and some other situations (like adds incoming etc and you need to keep aggro down), you don't need a stoneskin. Plus whm ss is greater by 8pp. The sch shouldn't waste mp on a ss; save it for an adlo reapply if anything. And WHM mp isn't too big of a deal most of the time. It's about timing your heals, knowing when NOT to heal, using SoS properly, spec'ing some PIE if you need it, using procs (freecure is awesome), making use of buffs, and choosing the right spell for the right time. Oh, and trusting your fellow healer. When you get that synchronization down with the other healer and you both have an understanding of what the other will do, it's a world of difference.

One thing I've noticed is that in raid-wide damage situations, I usually take a bit more of a minimalist approach which saves some MP. Some whm's like to use a cure3 on a stacked group after heavy aoe damage. However, unless there is more damage expected shortly afterwards, a med1 or med2 may be the better approach.
