    I would hardly say PI is "counter productive" to the job. As a skill in and of itself, it's actually quite well designed. The problem is that it exists in an environment that can't support it. How often is so much AoE damage coming out that you're going to get it to 3 stacks and then still need it? If the buff lasted a little longer that would help, at least. That issue affects Medica II as well. Not enough damage goes out in general to make full usage of WHM's kit.

    The content and game design of "all healers can heal all content" is what makes PI counter productive. Right now you can only use it in a window where your HoTs are most likely still up. If you increase the timer on it it becomes a different mechanic entirely. Like someone posted above, it might as well be a fixed potency skill on cooldown at that point.
