I appreciate everyone has different opinions and I do see that the majority of people like the removal of CS. However, I'd disagree with it being clunky and error prone. If you knew how and when to use it, you'd never have any issues. And the 5 second recast wasn't really clunky, it was just a penalty which I'm pretty sure was intentional. It was just something that added one tiny layer of skill to healers, which has been pruned to death in 4.0. I can only hope they'll not continue this trend for 5.0.

And I agree with your other comments. No matter how hard content gets, it's always going to be: 1) Heal through the damage spikes and 2) Throw out as much DPS as you can when everyone knows how to do mechanics. Until they give an overhaul to the role and the content design, healing is going to be stuck like this. That could also contribute to why fewer people are holding an interest in this role.
