How do you play SCH in PVP.

[Beckett]

I disagree with this one, first of all def/mdef (and thus protect) does not affect pvp. It gives you a buffer against MNK's mass buff removal but no one plays MNK. Throw away protect and put blizzard II and surecast on your pvp bar.

Fair enough. I've long wondered about Protect. I thought it didn't work in PVP, but then I always saw people casting anyway, so I figured I must've been wrong. I'll gladly put on another Equanimity and/or an AoE root instead.

Time is better spent on watching map/throwing miasma on targets

I'm mostly referring to non-combat time. Far too many healers spend off time standing around like morons instead of refreshing buffs. It's easy enough to keep track of the map while getting Stoneskin on everyone around you.
In combat, definitely throw out your DoTs, so long as everyone around you (including people not in your party) is in no danger.
