honestly instead of HP make it cost MP it'd put far more thought into using it optimally as it will affect rez potential and make any mistakes from the party more punishing than popping it 5 times out of the gate with no worry cause you can. you know no raidwides are coming up so might as well just pop all 5 since you have no worries for 25 seconds unlike making it an MP cost where any number of mechanics can affect someone else and hurt you more by draining unneccessary MP. it would also give lucid dreaming and thin air alot more use cases than just being used for rezzes. especially if you force each special move we'll call it cost MP since they are GCDs

also you really need to add more to the special moves (GCDs) unless spiritual ray is super powerful most people will just go earth+wind for the halfing of the effect of the next blissful sacrifice. if they need it, and seraph strike should honestly just be the single target attack that grants faith stacks and another 2 blissful sacrifice stacks to the WHM and WHM having a seperate dash ability. especially if you want "casual" players to be able to use it. you need to balance the damage to a point where for example making sure spiritual ray (10 cost overall) is more powerful than a seraph strike drought combo (10 cost overall) and making sure drought is more powerful than quad seraph strike

the main point of a setup like this is to allow the player to push their MP as far as they feel comfortable with alot of WHMs just using the 5 stacks and call it a day. but the more experienced WHM in better groups might use multiple seraph strikes (since it is inded a faith stack increase at the cost of MP) and i would add a mana regen/max MP return effect to spiritual ray to help those who really wanna "greed" a way to not go OOM if they're smart about it. yes you basically only use bene once and on CD but if you do for example need to use exaltation (which you can now get even more effect out of now since you can build stacks using bene and seraph strikes) even without using bene on CD you need a way to reenter that loop. and you still wanna keep up your dots and occasional nukes for blood spilled procs if you don't feel you can sustain enough droughts
