It doesn't matter what was 3 months ago, considering it came up in conversation AGAIN.

I was just curious what that looked like. I suspect it's something people say without really thinking about it, since if we gave healers WAR-level rotations, the people suggesting it would probably not find it appealing. I was thinking if we laid it out, people might realize that and reconsider what they're advocating for.

I could be wrong, but I suspect people realized that when thinking about the question, hence the antagonistic replies.

But for my part, I was wondering what it would be.

I'd gladly trade away DoTs for a simple 1-2-3 rotation and a 1-2 AOE rotation. That'd be fine by me.

People come up with things like BLM, but BLM is NOTHING like Tank rotations.
What I have said previously is that healers should have DPS tools that are on the same level as the tanks respective to different tanks. That is not suggesting that they have the same exact rotation, i.e. not having a 1-2-3 combo because no caster has a 1-2-3 combo, and healers, if anything, are less suited for such a system than DPS casters. What I'm referring to is general complexity, not literal rotation.
