WHM already isn't allowed to have AoE shields for some reason outside of Wings while the other 2 healers can do both. Even Benison has a cooldown so while it is usually up for Tankbusters and such, i don't want the only "on demand shield" whm has... to be locked behind Lillies... again....
I would rather take an useful Fluid Aura as a lilly skill than my only shield that would also not be used most of the time which would also make it kind of useless as lilly skill.
The issue with SB benison was the lily mechanic didn't do anything other than reduce CD durations. While I won't say Benison should be the dump skill, it now has more merit to be one. While the lily dump skill won't nourish the blood lily, it is possible for it to reduce the time it takes to get the next lily, or there can be something else the WHM does that accomplishes this. The idea is not to dish out more Misery, but to address the over healing and a full lily gauge that is drifting as a result of trying to avoid that.

If the lily dump skill isn't offensive or restorative, then it's going to have to be favorable utility. We can theorycraft on what this skill should be and do, but I also see no reason why Benison cannot be placed here under the new conditions and also either be put on the GCD like the other lily skills, or give it reasonably short cool down.

Does anyone object to WHM being able to whip out multiple Benisons? They can only toss out three, but they would obviously not want to do this.
