    AoE Rotation: Bio 2 -> Miasma -> Bio -> Bane -> swiftcast -> Shadow Flare -> Blizzard 2 spam (stronger than Holy with 300+ DoT's, 90 Shadow flare and 150 from Blizz 2, can even get another DoT on with Miasma 2 if you have Fey glow and you buff party damage with hastes)

    Single Target: Bio 2 -> Miasma -> Bio -> Energy Drain -> Aero -> Energy Drain -> Ruin -> Ruin 2 -> Energy Drain -> Ruin 2 -> Energy drain -> Ruin -> Ruin 2 -> Energy drain -> Ruin -> Ruin 2 -> Energy Drain (400 DoT + 400 Energy Drain + 400 Ruin 1 + 2 combined with Drain filling in the GCD gaps)

    SCH DPS is rediculous if used correctly, People forget the 10% potency increase from cleric stance which make it's DoT's extremely Potent. It's all about sacrificing healing Aetherflows to using a well placed Adlo to perform colossal damage if you set it up right. Above and Beyond being a healer

    As for CC, our slow from SF is exteremly helpful for mitigating damage when usable over Sacred soil too, we have a lot, be creative!

    While it is true that SCH as far as a healing class can pump out a nice amount of Dots, I'm not sure I'd ever go this route unless my party isn't taking much dmg and I can commit all my aetherflows to dmg. I'll ocassionaly throw out some dots on bosses and the random slightly stronger trash mob but at the end of the day my priority is healing and I think given the kit we have we are quite good at it.

    As far as the original poster being that our job is primarily focused on dmg mitigation already, having the ability to put things to sleep and slap a 1k shield would be a little OP imo. Also, like someone said earlier soloing as a SCH is pretty solid. You just slap on Cleric Stance and apply dots, energy drain, and slap out a shadow flare while your fairy spam heals you. It may not be as fast as smn but then again you're smn and sch will always be the same level so take your pick.
