The rest of the WHM kit feels fairly subtle by comparison really. SCH will be quite the healing powerhouse and there's every chance I may even end up having to play it next tier. Not my preferred healer but the new kit will suit my play style. I'm still a bit apprehensive about AST.
You do realize you can cast Holy 30 times in the time it takes to get the 3 lilies needed to nourish the blood lily to cast Afflatus Misery once. If I remember the tooltip right, Holy is now 180 potency with no drop off? That's 5400 potency compared to 900. Of course, you're unlikely to have the MP to cast holy 30 times, but it only takes 5 to equal the 900 potency of Misery plus Holy will stun which means your tank won't take as much damage while you're spamming it. I don't really see the potential in dungeons. And because of the time and GDC limitations, I really doubt it's going to make a whole lot of difference in the raid situation you mentioned.
