Reduce its cast time a bit to facilitate better weaving of oGCD heals.[*]Don't have DoTs interact with Art of War, but instead add Bane to SCH and adjust AoW potency to compensate for this.
    Oh my god please no.
    SCH was already bad enough having to set up your AoE attacks with several GCD's, now it'd take 4 skills to spread your full AoE damage around, compared to 1 with AST/WHM.
    Meanwhile DoTs have been nerfed on SMN for being too OP. You could deal consistent damage for 30s with just 3 GCD's compared to other healers who need 10 GCD's for the same effect.

    DoT management is hell. There are plenty of ways to inject interesting gameplay mechanics without needing stacks and stacks of DoTs.

    SCH already has 2 main dps skills where the others only have 1 (Broil and Ruin) without adding 3! more DoT skills.
    Make the interplay between Broil and Ruin more interesting. Give us a reason to use Ruin outside of oGCD clipping optimisation.

    The only thing I kinda like here is Broil cutting DoT time, and frankly I think this could be something for all healers as a way to effectively nerf DoTs while increasing their base potency so that they're more impactful.
