DRK vs WAR Self-Healing

[Syzygian]

DRK is more of a heal-over-time self-healer. You get a 400 potency heal every 3-7 GCDs depending on where you are in the rotation. That being said, that type of effect, especially limited to Grit (which DRK hates having to turn on) is not as efficient and is usually overhealing. WAR's self-heals are all burst. DRK won't ever have those kinds of self-heals because DRK has more raw mitigation between its tank stance and cooldowns, whereas WAR is a bag of HP, which is why its self-heals are so strong. As for whether it actually needs everything that it has as often as it has it, that's a can of worms I won't open here.

WAR gets a 400 potency heal every 120s and a 1200 potency heal every 60s, in tank stance, and if IB is used every time you have 5 stacks another 300 potency heal every 19.2 seconds with a 2.4 GCD but less than that if Zerk/Vengeance/RI are used, so we'll say 17.5 on average, so we'll say 7 IBs per 120s.
DRK gets a 400 potency heal every 15s in a normal rotation, in tank stance.

DRK gets about 3200 potency of heals in 120s, WAR gets ~4900ish. The both have to be in tank stance for this however and the WAR is not using stacks for anything else other than IB.

Side note: DRK's AoE self-healing is actually equal.
Berserk Bloodbath Decimate = 280*1.5*0.25=105*# of targets, Berserk Bloodbath Overpower = 120*1.5*0.25=45*# of targets.
105+105+45+45+45+45+45+45=480 per target over 8 GCDs.
DA Abyssal Drain = 120*1=120*# of targets, but only every other GCD (because of DA's 5s recast).
120+0+120+0+120+0+120+0=480 per target over 8 GCDs.

That's napkin math, could be wrong. At any rate, they actually are not -THAT- far apart mathematically... WAR's is just better in practice. Both are still way better than PLD though.
