Exactly, top ASTs were doing it because it was the best option. It wasn't really a vocal minority that pushed for this, it was the raiding community as a whole and SE saw the writing on the wall.

One thing I do notice from all these healer suggestions is, usually people aren't sure what they want. They just want something different. However, if I recall correctly, this has always been the case on these forums, even during the supposed "good" times. I understand people want healing to be different but perhaps SE has decided this is how healing will forever be.
