I won't really know till I play it myself, but at the moment... once you take the shiny laser lights away, it doesn't seem to be anything too different.
Sage really isn't that different, and I don't understand why SE is insisting that it's a different healer for people who want more interesting DPS on healers. If you're already spamming Glare/Broil/Malefic all day, you're just going to be spamming Dosis on Sage. The only difference is that you'll get some healing equal to Embrace on your Dosis spam. All it has is a DoT, Dosis, and Phlegma on the GCD. It has no oGCD DPS. It's similar to DoT, Malefic, Star and DoT, Glare, Assize and DoT, Broil, Energy Drain. Toxicon is just Ruin 2 or Misery.
