    Way to hot potato the argument. In a massive pull yes, if a whm is dps'ing and you actually need to self-cure, go for it. But ya know what? Neither other tank has that issue because they actually contribute to dps in those situations. Also newsflash: holy stuns mobs. If you wait for those stuns to become noneffective, then properly use your cooldowns, you'll find you can keep dps'ing instead of playing healer.

    Back to what was being talked about, 3 mob pulls:

    You understand that's not accurate right? You have to if you play PLD at all; there's no way you're getting full dot potency when your dot is attached to your 3rd combo hit of your non enmity combo. By the time you've even applied the dot to your 3rd mob you're 19-20 seconds into the pull if you haven't done any flashes, and then of course the mobs are all over the place. Lets say you flash twice then start this, your first mob is only getting the dot 12 seconds in, and honestly if trash mobs are lasting long enough for full potency starting there, I've already ditched.

    And then 4+ mob pulls you significantly fall behind even by your messed up calculations. If a person was always right based on the idea of presenting some numbers nobody'd ever fail a math test.
