I think people are a bit confused on the 2 WHM thing.

People bringing 2 White Mages has nothing to do with the fact that you have a WAR tank. You really don't need 2 WHMs to keep a WAR alive. We take 1 White Mage into AV speed runs (with a WAR tank), and I solo heal the entire run just fine.

Sure, it's a little easier on my healing when a PLD is tanking since they can heal themselves with Holy Succor and can cancel some damaging moves like swipe with a block with Aegis Boon, but that difference in healing difficulty for a PLD vs a WAR is negligible right now, especially considering the extra damage output a WAR gives.

But getting back to my point, people bring 2 White Mages for a lot of reasons: It's easier to divide up the healing (one on tank, the other on DDs), insurance in case one of the White Mages goes down, 2 extra raises in case people die too often, etc. But having a WAR tank is not one of them.
