Dps As Healer

[Thunda_Cat_SMASH]

I guess branching combos for tossing out another DoT or regening MP are neat, but once you learn it it's no different from just hitting the same button constantly.

More to hit, more to be involved with. I'm also paying more attention to the raid in general, watching the healers, my combos and rotations, the boss so I can use my suite of defensive cd's efficiently, and if things start going south I can turtle up quickly and start supporting the party to stop the wipe, then go back once it's safe. Meanwhile as a healer, about the only time I've had fun with it is when things are so bad, or everyone's new, that I feel like I have to chain cast heals and support the party instead of even thinking about dpsing.

Wait, wait, wait...Tank/DPS swapping is okay, but Cleric stance isn't? You don't even deal with new skills when you go into DPS stance for the most part?

You don't have anything 'new' locked behind cleric stance either, technically speaking, it just hits harder.
