If you disable cleric stance during combat, when would you use it?

Pretty much =p What I was trying to get at was "If Bahamut was using Flare Breath every 3-5 seconds and still flatten like every minute, would you have time to Cleric Stance?". Make the fights more healing involved if you want healers to DPS less. No give suggestions like removing Cleric Stance out right. The idea is to encourage higher levels of play, not neuter it.

Well. I guess I feel raid content encourages that already. Even though there are pauses, those moments of intense raid or tank damage do mean one has to watch/manage their mp. Flare breath, etc as is would still run a novice WHM (the kind that forgets to shroud, uses cure II when cure I spam will get by, etc) OOM, I think.

....I think if normal content approached that level of healing strain, there would be a riot xP (But I do disagree with "remove cleric stance" suggestions)

I've beaten T5 pre nerf, and progressed in T9 before nerf. I'm no raid champion, but I'm no novice and I understand that the caliber of healing is much greater in raiding. Since the OP addresses CS in general, I figured I'd voice when I use it generally, which is every standard piece of content, because it's easy.

Ok, it looks like I interpreted your post too broadly. Apologies for that.
