So, the recently released trial needed to be done. And I really am not familiar with the level 80 WHM toolkit.

The other healer is a white mage. So there's no sort of shields from all the raidwide damage. Medica 2 is my go-to mass heal here, because I know there will be mechanics requiring intensive healing over a short period of time, while mechanics I need to dodge are happening. I can't really stop and stand still, and people are constantly dying, so Swiftcast isn't available for any sort of bursty healing.

I use Medica 2 in advance, so that it has a few ticks of healing keeping everyone from dying to Pyretic while I'm busy backing off out of telegraphs. If I'm not supposed to use that, then what do I use instead? I'm not being sarcastic, genuinely, how should I be mass healing when there's massive damage going out in rapid succession?
If massive heals are needed back to back, use Medica. Medica does more immediate healing, Medica II is only really useful if there's at least 9 seconds or so between damage, preferably at least 15. In any case, the topic was more about WHMs using it in inappropriate situations as just "This is what I push always." So, spamming it back to back, using it when only one person needs healing, just trying to keep the buff up 24/7, etc.
