Eh, current raiding is laughable which is probably why there is no need for a defensive CD/self-heal. I suppose my view atm is similar to pandabearcat's.
I just worry about progression in the early days of content when our ilvl is lower and bosses abilities hit like a truck. Any type of mitigation can help push content.

But yeah, no point discussing this further until we actually see if they're even needed when savage comes out. Currently, not really needed.
