Recently went back to leveling my SCH and have to say...on no other healing class have I found it to be THAT stressful to try and dps in between. The fairy isn't even remotely helping, the tank's HP drop just as fast as if I had regen up on him on WHM/AST, sometimes even faster because the fairy takes her sweet time to do ANYTHING, and if I order her to do buffs/despells, she even loses a GCD. Regen ticks don't ever miss a GCD, just sayin' :x

But my main problem with SCH is that, when I switch stance and dps, the tank's HP drop and I have no means to raise them quickly again after I switch back to healing. Lustrate is weak as hell AND limited to having aetherflow stacks available. After dpsing on WHM and AST, I throw two or three big heals at the tank (or my REALLY big instant heal, if he's close to dying, which btw SCH also doesn't have, at least not at my lvl, 57) and he's at full HP again. Lustrate isn't just weaker than any other "big" heal, I also usually do not have several aetherflow stacks available because I used at least half of them on dpsing. Adlo is not helpful either, one single hit and it's gone, and tanks usually get hit several times in the span of one GCD because at least in dungeon runs, they have several monsters hitting them.
So yeah, while I do dps on SCH, I do it a lot less regulary than on my other healers, simply because my tank is always about to die whenever I do so. It's not because I'm lazy, I'm just preventing us from wiping.
