Not that it can't be used as such, it's just that it failing had become such a bane to me that I started using it in other scenarios verses saving it, particularly healing my tank to full so I can keep from dropping cleric.

However, this is simply my playstyle as a WHM, and one reason why I am so attatched to Noct AST. Aspected Benefic and Essential Dignity are actually instant, and far more reliable. Even if WHM is stronger in the potency department all around (and unquestionably superior at level 50), AST's snappier heals fit me better.
