Of course, it only applies on duty finder cause in a static you will talk with your group and ask each people to use their abilites.

Won't say anything for Eye for Eye, it has been buff and for all healers, so that's cool.
I'm actually a little annoyed at the Virus removal since no healer has it now, and it's been given to DPS instead. This was one of the SCH/AST raid responsibilities, especially if you didn't have a SMN, and it was fun to be able to do it. I mean who else is most concerned with mitigating damage than the healer? Certainly not the rotation-focused DPS. I always figured one of the reasons healers had such uncomplicated abilities was so they could keep a better awareness of the party and fight and thus react better.

I am sure the DPS will be able to virus fine, it's not hard. I just feel like they took a bit of my job unnecessarily, and I will certainly miss my emergency safety net for when I flub an AoE timing and want a bit of insurance the next blast won't cripple my shields. >_>;
