Your co healer doesn't need to help you heal the tank they can be topping off dps or doing damage. Benison can be used more than that 1 special time in a fight, its constant damage mitigation (every 15s). You get a lily about 1 in every 2 cures so lets not pretend lilies are hard to get (dont need 3 to cast benison)
Not to mention that Stoneskin was a clunky ability with a high mana cost and a long cast time, and wasn't exactly strong to boot. I'm glad it's gone. I'd like to see a slight numbers buff on Benison, but let's not pretend that Stoneskin was a core part of the white mage playstyle here.
