PvP self-combo skills as a core/PvE mechanic

[SpiralMask]

Seen a few folks kicking around the neat idea of re-introducing cleric stance for healers, with it flipping all their GCD heal effects to equivalent damage effects (heals are flat potency damage, regens are DoT's, shields are small damage and reduced damage dealt, etc), which would pretty dramatically expand healer DPS/downtime options with a single added skill and introduce a balancing act between being in damage mode and healing off your OGCDs or being in healing mode and healing with the majority of your kit (basically as it is now).

course this (and the autocomobos in the OP) dont really help caster dps like BLM and RDM very much I think

Holy crap...
That idea is wild. That's total bananas.
I cast Benefic haha~

But man is that an odd and compelling idea.
It'd be really interesting to see how they'd have to rework the kits to work with this idea.
Holy shit though, if all their AoE heals became AoE damage that would be frickin nuts. Dungeon runs would be over in no time flat. SCH calls Seraph and it just levels the pull haha.

(In case it's not clear this is a positive reaction)
