The three new DPS heals are tied to solar Bahamut, riddle of earth and starry muse (all 2 minute CD’s), they aren’t saving you in the overworld or during beast tribes, they are pointless heal bloat that doesn’t need to exist, especially since all 3 amount to an indom potency

As for tank heals we’ve discussed tank heals at length, my problem with tank heals is the fact that tanks lose nothing to press a tank heal, like including the shield BW is about 1600 healer potency (2000 tank potency) but there is never a reason to not press it. For a healer if I want to equal that on say WHM I need 2 solace’s but that consumes the same resource that rapture uses. So healers are making choices to spend resources to achieve what tanks are doing for free with zero downsides

Tank gameplay I think needs to be moved towards active mitigation and not passive healing. The short CD’s actually mitigating more in the first 4 seconds is a good example of this and I don’t mind covalence on rampart, but I think they need to add more things like GCD mitigation or last ditch channeled “last stand” skills like chenonlian gate. Cut the passive healing down but replace it with something that doesn’t make the tank totally reliant on the healer
I will not comment on tank gameplay as I don't have a tank over lvl 30. I do not know enough to comment with any kind of knowledge.

I can't really speak about the DPS heals being added since I have no max lvl characters at all (despite playing more than 5 years - I get distracted and I don't like the person I become at endgame so I actively avoid reaching cap). My gut feeling about the new DPS is heals is lets see what happens as the xpac progresses. It might well be that the game has been cranked up a notch and they are necessary (we can hope). We will know soon enough once early access starts. If they are not necessary once we have experience of the new content then I will be with you on it.
