None of them are wrong but all of them have their place and uses. The key to being a healer that's anything more than generic is finding the balance and working around it. Just doing Brayflox HM runs on my Scholar, there have been times where I'm screaming at Aetherflow to get off CD because the tank is about to die and other times where I'm blowing Bane on every pull for extra DPS.

Also lol @ those tags: terribul healers
I DPS whenever I'm given half a chance; I just don't allow it to interfere with my healing.

I fit one of those two, I'm sure. xD
