    No.
    If anything, the last thing WHM need right now is more oGCDs because they're currently lacking available options to open up weaving windows to use said oGCDs. Add more of those and you'll only exacerbate clipping, one of their gameplay issue. WHM currently have 9 (or 10 if you count Fluid Aura) oGCD from their own arsenal and 3 from role skills, that gives them a total of 12-13 oGCD that can be weaved. Assuming that no Lily or Regen were thrown, WHMs only have 4 (5 if you count swiftcasted Glare) weave slots to fill per minute. Each lily spellcast provide us 2 additional weave slots due to being insta-GCD.

    Medica II cast time is as long as our GCD after Spell Speed calculated in. You spend one -whole- GCD just to cast and release it. Now assume that we've made Rapture an oGCD... that would make far less sense because an oGCD doesn't roll our GCD uptime. You know what is this? It's called clipping. Please don't.

But that also highlights a problem with the single target healing on the WHM as you generally shouldn't need Cure 2 unless things are really going sideways
    Again, no.
    Misery is an instant GCD/spell. You can't snap that one 'between Glares'. What you've been doing so far is probably following up a fully casted Glare by an immediate Misery nuke. Solace is better off being GCD because like Rapture, make them an oGCD and you'll exacerbate WHM's clipping and leaving WHMs with far less option to weave beside tossing a Regen as their weaving/movement tool or early Aero/Dia refresh.
