I can count with the fingers on one hand the amount of times I've died to walking dead because I did not receive healing. I can even remember the specific instances that it has happened. Two of the occasions I died to it didn't even happen in battle, but because WD was still active after the fight/pull was over and tick-tock-tick-tock-dead. It's actually kind of hilarious because the healers were always all, "WTF!?" However, the amount of times it has saved my tail FAR outweighs this little mishap. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've been left alone to eat a stack marker in PUGs. It's ridiculous.

I'm not saying it is a perfect skill by any means, but I don't share the frustration I am reading in a lot of the posts here. If I was to change anything about it, I would give it the shortest cooldown of all the invul skills because of the potential for WD to not even get triggered. WD status doesn't change the fact that you were dead anyway had you not used LD.

As a healer main, I will never, ever buy into the excuse of forgoing the responsibility to heal the damn tank, ESPECIALLY in favor of getting a few more GCDs in to deal damage. They need to be paying attention to the status bars and the fact that a tank is sitting at 1hp for several seconds. They don't need to understand how LD/WD works, they only need to understand that tunnel visioning will almost always lead to a tank death. If a DRK dies to WD it is on the healer for not paying attention. Period.
