Perhaps on a boss where you can probably already stay in clerics 100% of the time regardless of which fairy you have out and Whispering isn't necessary, Selene might be better, but switching fairies back and forth for trash and bosses sounds like a pain.

I mean does that Nin really think that increasing his DPS by 3% is going to beat the extra healer DPS uptime you'd get from Whispering Dawn?
Oh I totally agree, I could have gotten into that argument but it would have required a lot of stopping to type, and frankly, who has time for that amirite.

Though, one case in which Selene could be "better" for trash pulls is if the tank is not pulling anything more than the two or three mobs from every set pack. In that case, the damage is usually so small that whichever fairy you use doesn't make a real difference, so you might as well just pull Selene out and pretend the 3% is making a difference in a trash pull that will last like 15 seconds.

Also, I've found that some of the newer dungeon bosses hit hard enough in AoE that Whispering Dawn can be justified, tbh. Again, mostly just to help me stay in Cleric for 95%+ of the fight.
