*looks at ninja trick attack with 60 sec cooldown* I wish to correct you on something...

If you are lucky within 1 minute you can have an AoE balance, if you are unlucky the next AoE balance can be up to 5 or even 10 minutes away, this I have personally experienced as AST is the healer I main.

Meaning that in terms of total 10% raid wide damage boosting Ninja is in fact superior and has higher uptime on that damage boost, because it is 100% consistent in how it functions.

If you were to nerf balance then people would simply run a Ninja for raid wide damage boosting, especially since ninja also brings a good chunk of DPS to the table. If SCH was superior off-healer then AST would be dumped, as Ninja handles the damage boost during the burst moments and SCH would handle the shields with WHM handling the power healing and main healing.
