    Lightspeed for glorious healer DPS is a poor choice regardless. MP efficiency remains the same due to the 25% reduced MP cost and 25% reduced Potency, but you're actually losing out on damage in the long run due to the Potency loss, despite the cast time reduction.

    200 Potency*(2.5/3)=166.66 Potency per GCD without Lightspeed.
    150 Potency*(2.5/2.5)=150 Potency per GCD with Lightspeed.

    Only time Lightspeed would be good for a DPS scenario in a dungeon would be a point where you're for some reason forced to move non-stop during a short window and there's a really tight DPS check involved. Otherwise, just suck up the 3 sec cast time.

    There is no need to repeat the arguments other peoples have already made why using lightspeed is a bad decision in combination with dps skills. But why do you use Synastry in combination with HoT skills. Synastry has no effect on the regen amount.

    The only mistake is using lightspeed followed by gravity spam, other than that this suggestion looks good. Dungeons are so easy that you shouldn't need to use cooldowns to save someone. Just use them to make things go faster.

    Synastry increases healing potency by 20% since 3.07

    Synastry also buffs healing spells by 20%. Divine seal buffs healing spells by 30% (and it's common knowledge this buffs regens). They work exactly the same in terms of healing potency buffs therefore it also buffs regens.

    CU's regen effect along with your regen spell makes for a powerful combination of hots for "free". You can time dilation your tank and pretty much ignore him whilst you gravity spam.

    Also, healing CDs in expert dungeons is fine. You shouldn't be running into issues keeping a tank alive at this ilvl. I use Synastry on pulls solely to buff my regens which allow me to DPS longer.


    OP:

    This is what I normally pull in dungeon runs nowadays. If you need a reference as to what AST can do. (This is for the entire dungeon run).
