I only recently started healing (just cleared 50 a few days ago), but I can totally related to this. I get almost no utility out of Repose.I had a few people request it in Brayflox (sleeping the lizard boss when the smaller lizard comes out), but other than that I've never used it. The fact that it's a single target cast is a big part of it, because it's main utility would be (in theory) for if things were getting out of hand and away from the tank. Ideally, you could sleep targets getting away from the Tank to stop them from leaving position or harrassing the party (mainly you), but the problem is that it's too slow for that. Blm's can sleep an enitre mob faster than a Whm can deal with it, so if any more than one target escapes the aggro of the Tank Repose is useless to help. You'd be better off just paper tanking them until the Tank smartens up.

Ps. Good to see you from over on the tank version of this thread lol.
