WHM is much better now

[Yuyuka3]

If a WHM is timing their cure 2 to land right after the TB, no healer is going to be fast enough to rob the WHM of their Lily, and even if they were, there is supposed to be coordination between healers in raids and savage, am I correct?

I get what he's saying, and the idea is if you need to cast cure 2 on the tank, they are taking enough damage to benefit from Benison. You only need one Lily, so cast cure 2 and follow with Benison to give yourself some breathing room. There is no RNG element involved with this. It is a straight heal and instant additional damage mitigation for the tank. This is exactly how I would use Benison in just about any content I run.

You can never really cast a bad shield. Even at full HP, a shield like Benison effectively increases the over all HP of the beneficiary.

You didn't get the point at all. If I time Cure II to land after the tankbuster, chances are good that I don't need Benison anymore afterwards because the tank is out of danger zone already. Especially if your co-healer is worth their salt and heals as well when necessary. Shields are most useful when they are applied before the damage; afterwards, their usefulness is decreased drastically.

In A9S, for example, you applied Stoneskin before Ravensbeak to help the SCH mitigate as much DMG as possible. That's no longer possible in that way with Benison, because I have to heal first, then apply the shield, and if the tank is already topped, yay, no Lilly.
