I only recently started healing. I agree with this, but I'm actually a little torn on it. In a lot of ways, Pld's seem much easier to heal, but after a Tank buster or during a quite spell in a boss fight watching a War's Hp bar get a sudden jump is ... relaxing, I guess. I feel less panicked about their Hp bar because it shoots back up quickly. I also find I have to heal them less than Pld's because, despite their higher Hp bar, they self-heal so efficiently that I'm not always needed.

I guess the difference is that Pld's feel like they need a constant, but very steady, rate of healing. Whereas Wars need a bunch of healing ... and then you can take a break whenever they use Equilibrium or you see Bloodbath in their hotbar.
