What if benediction can stay the way it is.

I've never had an issue using benediction. I use it all the time. I can just sit in cleric stance and dps and aoe or whatever and just heal the tank up when he hits around 20-30% and go back to doing damage. Without dropping stance or skipping a beat.

When I'm doing stuff that is rather healing intensive and I'm not dpsing, it has saved my groups ass more often than not.

I've also got the timing down on it and find it's a phenomenal 'oh shit' button.

If you've got a problem with the spell. Learn how to use it. Practice. I don't want to see any changes made (not even casting before it's animation). I like it how it is, I assume I'm not the only one.
