A friend went to FFlogs and saw that I did 91% of the heals with less overheals than the sch.
Well first, try not to be sad about it. It wasn't a good experience, but we all have to remember this is a game.

Second, the SCH saying he can do 2500 on WHM "easy" isn't really relevant if you are playing AST. AST personal DPS capability is a lot lower than WHM...but....

While it is true the group matters and also how much healing you do, as a main AST myself who does savage on it... 400 DPS is way way lower than you should be doing with the gear you have. Even if you heal a lot or have to eve raise sometimes you should still be hitting 1000+ at least.

Doing 400 means you weren't really putting in any effort to DPS much at all. Demon does have high consistent damage, but there are times where you can throw quite a bit of healer DPS at him when he isn't doing much.

Having 400 at the end while dying to enrage means you aren't utilizing the time you had to DPS effectively. People can do the same HPS as you while doing 1000 more DPS which is where the critique would come from about your 400 DPS: You can do the same HPS, but do way more than 400 DPS all at the same time.

If it is beyond your current skill at AST to do higher than that then I understand, but I would still encourage you to work at it to become more comfortable with it. When it comes to Savage you should be able to DPS more than that on healer. I would suggest practicing more at handling healing and DPS simultaneously to increase your overall experience and skill on AST and WHM.

Also for best results practice the ABC - Always Be Casting rule. If you waste GCDs by spending too much time without using any ability it can cost you a lot of HPS and DPS in general.
