As a WHM main since 2.0, I'd really like to see it have a place in this game again that makes people actually want it.

It's not top heals, AST is.
It's not top DPS, AST is, followed by SCH, with WHM in last place.
It doesn't bring any actual utility while AST brings versatile utility and SCH brings stable utility.

I don't know, I've never had a problem with MP management unless people are dying left and right due to their own stupidity, and good MP management is like the consolation prize you give to a three year old to pacify them when someone else wins. Between MP Song and Mana Shift, it counts for little.

I'd like at least one of the following:
1.) Potency buff for Stone/Aero
2.) Presence of Mind's cool down being reduced.
3.) AoE Presence of Mind.

I am happy with the reduction in enmity... but like others have said, in exchange for Assize racking in more hate generation than it already was. And I'm extremely glad for Plenary, because it's one of those skills that you just popped because you needed extra heals, now it can be timed to use more efficiently, which hey, it's useful now... x.x; At nearly the end of Storm Blood... but it's useful now right?

I'll take the changes, but it doesn't boost my confidence in what is in store for WHM in 5.0.
