SCH is going to have a huge amount of oGCD healing pretty much sitting there with the main limitation being how much you can tidily weave in vs when it's actually worth clipping, perhaps for the sake of allowing both healers to keep bombing those DPS GCDs out. Think about how much healing is going to be coming out from Sacred Soil with a 50% uptime, coupled with Indom filling in alongside an Excog on the tank. Emergency Tactics will comfortably allow them to fill in the gaps if they fall behind on the tanks and the penalty is minimal if you plan ahead a little bit.

Taken in isolation, the clipping will suck. Horridly. However, I'm thinking that this may well push the min maxers even further down the road of the SCH doing all the heavy lifting whilst the WHM simply throws rocks between Asylums and Tetras. Comfortably skipping a bunch of Regen refreshes will pay dividends pretty quickly.

I could be wrong of course, I'm no SCH theory crafter and haven't raided with it at the top flight in years. This is just my opinion.
The problem with all of this (respectfully) is what's been the problem with Dissipation from Day 1: The majority of SCH heals aren't affected by it's effect. All the oGCD stuff are Abilities and not Spells.

The new Sacred Soil with it's Regen is an Ability, not a spell.

The only things that it affects are Physic, Adlo, an Succor.
