    I don't really agree with that logic.

    Swift+Stoneskin 2 in a dungeon really doesn't matter. Before a pull in a raid? Not entirely bad, the raid reality is the main healer usually isn't tapped for the first-raise. But ideally you can use that Swift early for other purposes like the 2nd raise, Instant Medica, or DPS. Most of the time you are waiting for pull macro/buffs before pull so hard casting SS2 is the more adapt method.

    Fairy switches. Or with Dissipate, you should look forward to Swiftcast+Summon.

    Swiftcast+Shadowflare as SCH is more of a judgement call. Is it progression? Is this phase a bit flaky where not having a Swift means it might cause heartburn. DPS push is the greatest mitigation in the game so if it helps to get DoTs up faster, yet it's not likely a phase where a derp occurs then push for it.

    I try to teach healers that they shouldn't always be so protective of Swiftcast. Sometimes players need to find out how many lapses of 60s they have that they could have used it to get ahead of mechanics. It's more on main healers. Scholars needing Swift isn't as high for healing since they have Indom availability and fairy CDs.
