The fact that you spell it out, it needs 4* 2.4s casts during 10s (a little less with regens up or if you use cds to heal up the tank.... sigh how is the flaw not painfully obvious) , holmgang needs 1-2 heals just as it is about to end in the extreme case. If you don't see it right in front of your nose i'm not gonna write anymore, as you said move on and stop cluttering the thread.
An interesting thought, and yes, I do feel that holmgang has a good place when there aren't AoE's going out (However, I can not describe to you how many times an AoE has nicked me regardless of incomming healing due to the bind)

Additionally, I listed a healer that was nearly 10 item levels lower - thus weaker healing effectiveness than an equivelent Dark Knight who has a higher item level.

Here's the thing, though. Yes, I listed that a healer, using 4 heals, can get you capped off for Living Dead and in the "Safe" zone. However, what I didn't list was:
- Use of CD's (that same white mage can throw in a Tetra and make it 2-3, crits can make it 1-2 casts of the heal), divine seal will reduce the quantity required, presence of mind, assize. Lustrate, Essential Dignity.HoT's. And the tank's own self-healing and buffs (Living Dead + Conva is nice.) There are far more variables that help a DRK reach that full 100% than there are that help a Warrior who's holmgang'd in place at low HP.

Stop trying to assume that people "Playthe job less than you", heck - even your main class is listed as "Gladiator (PLD)" so should I start acting like you don't play DRK at all? You use the most arbitrary method of refuting an arguement imaginable, without actually considering anyone elses stance or experience on the matter.
