SE's always been weirdly selective about the healer feedback they listen to.

Take, for instance, 4.5. They listened to the odd person or two saying PI sucked and so let's buff that so WHMs have more healing. And just a bandaid until the expac, you say? Well, no - even now, they've ignored the many more people pointing out WHM will never be competitive without utility.

It would be very nice if someone from the dev team - at least on the battle systems side of it - had time to get really in depth familiar with healers and how they play at the high end. They've really been missing the mark with healer feedback and balance for so long now...
