There's no downside to lustrate..I can't believe that was even brought up. The ONLY thing I can think of is managing aetherflow stacks.

oGCD, instant, no mana, bypasses healing debuffs, and you get a potential of 6. (Including dissipation). Jesus. What's not to like about it?

Well, technically Lustrate is not effected by Fey Illumination or Dissipation's healing buffs since it's treated as an ability and not a spell (which is why it ignores debuffs that reduce healing effects from spells). Indomitability is the same way, and neither move is effected by Mantra or Convalescence, either. Technically those are downsides, though both moves are still fantastic and save raids. Seeing them crit now is also a lot of fun.

If anyone finds lustrate to feel weak, all I can say is keep gearing up.

Well, judging by the responses I got here, I'll go ahead and assume I just got horrible tanks and that was the main problem^^°
My sample size on SCH is a lot smaller than on my main, AST, or even on WHM. I tend to forget that I had paper-thin tanks on my other healers too where dpsing was pretty much out of the question.
