Other healers sniping, can’t get heals off

He even did DPS a little. At least I saw a couple of Glare casts whenever everyone's HP were full. So why overheal like crazy? Why even use Medica II after Plenary Indulgence + Afflatus Rapture?

It's a big problem with healing, particularly WhM. You can play the wrong way all the way to 80, through lv80 content and even into the first few Savage bosses and get away with it. Nothing teaches you how to play better, requires it or encourages it.

Your WhM in question (forgive me for having a glance, I just get curious) wasn't even overhealing badly at all. But they used Assize only as a heal, never used PoM, never used Asylum, barely touched their lilies, almost never used Benison or Plenary and seemed to love throwing Regen around. And it worked fine.

That's why healing's a mess. You can mash any aoe heal and poke Glare at random intervals and it'll carry you through most of the game. That's what healer has been reduced to.

It’s an inherent problem with WHM, it has such powerful GCD heals and MP restoration tools they can literally shovel out healing without a care in the world and be fine. Unfortunately unless your cohealer dies or you’re solo healing you never need such on demand healing. If my cohealer wants to do that I just fully embrace my glare mage green dps gameplay and look for spots I can dump my lilies (movement or downtime) and just keep on glaring.
