Which healer to heal which tank?

Shielding healers (SCH and Nocturnal ASTs) usually heals WAR since Defiance will bring our the best on their shielding spells; its not only about old and new Lustrate. WHMs and Diurnal ASTs tend to get the tank with better defense out of the two tanks on their party since they'll be mostly assigned to heal AoEs mostly alone. WHM don't have much that easier time to heal WAR, he'll be overhling a lot because of Defiance most of the times. On the other side, shields won't over heal as much. Each player is a player and each party is a party, you need a sync between your healers and tanks so just chat and coordinate accordingly, there is no cake recipe for it.

I'm not a healer main so correct me if I'm wrong here.

WAR, DRK, and PLD would get exactly equivalent mileage out of a adlo heal. If a adlo crits for 1k then it puts up a 2 k shield on both PLD and DRK, for WAR this would be 1200 and 2400 respectively. Now, PLD and DRK would take damage tank stance 20% slower giving an eHP gain that is exactly equivalent.

The only caveat would be deployment tactics. In which I agree that WAR would be the better candidate for.

Taking advantage of their defensive stances, DRK and PLD can survive a bit better with Regen while WHM/DiAST heals the party. Also, considering the shielding healer will be doing some dps while the main healer actually heals as a convenience that healer is also assigned to main tank since the off tank (mostly WAR) won't be needing heals during most parts of the fight. But like some of us said on this thread, this is just a method most healers got comfortable doing so, its not a rule.

Does WAR not got a 20% healing bonus from HoT's? I've never bothered to check to be honest.
