Well good to know, definitely sort of confirming my suspicions. Thanks guys!

I mained WHM for quite some time and one bit of input I have on the hate around lillies and confession - I am of the opinion that healer DPS is mandatory. Stance dancing meant relying on HoTs for my primary healing so that the majority of my healing could happen while I toss out damage. With stance dancing gone my initial WHM reaction was that you could weave healing into your DPS rotation which could make cure 1 and 2 much more viable options.

I'm by no means claiming that the changes to WHM are definitely going to be awesome but I really felt like people were overreacting and forgeting to overlay the lack of stance dancing and the effect that is going to have on your gameplay which could see WHM as more of a direct healer than a HoT one.

Just my 2 cents, thanks for the input guys!
