Cure 3 being conditional doesn't work because of that.

As for PI and Temperance - sorta, but no. Temperance is mitigation (reduces damage taken) and healing of all types. PI is specifically if AOE healing is needed to recover from damage taken. It's like saying Cure 2 and Medica are the same thing. Moreover, you generally need to heal multiple sections of big hits during big boss fights. So if you use Temperance, sure, you got through that mechanic. What do you do in 40 seconds when the next big spike of party damage comes in? Right now, you can use PI for that. But without PI, now what do you do? You could ask that Temperance's CD be reduced, but it would need to be reduced to 40 seconds or something like that for this to work.

I suppose it all comes down to how you broke the Healers out, but WHM isn't the first choice of Healer with an expansive damage kit. SGE would probably be the first choice for that, then SGE second choice.

WHM is in a weird spot in that it has oGCDs, instant cast GCDs, and cast time GCDs that do the same thing, but they each have distinct castes. Cure 2 exists if you need to heal over and over and can stand still. Solace does that, but can only be used a limited number of times, but can be used during movement. Tetra does that, can be used while moving, can even be weaved between casts to get in an instant heal if the person would have died otherwise, but is highly limited to just one use at a time. Combining them would be like if we took Lustrate and Adlo and Excog and said they were just one ability now, or Benefic, Aspected Benefic, and Essential Dignity on AST. There are some things that seem superficially similar, but have distinct use cases.
