Absolutely. As healers, we don't need these oGCD except when we need to move. So, bosses have become exercises in how well you can move your character.

But, if everyone is doing their dance right there is no need for the oGCD heals. It's a real catch-22 situation and we know CS3 isn't about to overhaul every duty and raid to correct it. Because with the amount of work it'd require, they might as well start a whole new MMO.

So, healers are stuck. Honestly, thinking about it, I don't see CS3 changing anything for healers in 8.0.

I mean, what can they do? Add another damage ability on a two minute countdown? Combine our heals so we have more space on our action bars?

The basic problem remains. Healers are both redundant and boring to play.
