Another reference for good Healer design

I guess we have like, Improvisation, Shield Samba and Curing Waltz, that are dances with different effects than 'does damage', they just... don't require pressing dance steps to activate. In the devs defense on this one, I can't imagine it'd be fun trying to put up Shield Samba in time by doing a 2 step dance like Standard Step, not to mention it'd be on the GCD like that and therefore a DPS loss

You'd probably just build different resources via GCD steps, release them via oGCDs. The responsiveness is still there, but the utility then doesn't just feel like a barely rethemed rehash of any other toolkit's party-mit and Dancer could have actual versatility and greater resource swing.
