Fine-Tuning PLD rotation - tips?

[Nerael]

I'm probably going to be running 9s and 10s with mostly members of my fc from now on, so I may be stuck in shield oath for a week or two while our totally fresh ast gets used to the mechanics in both floors

Small last tip of advice: Assuming your other healer is seasoned, start with stance dancing as soon as possible. The AST needs to get used to the damage levels you will sustain in sword oath/deliverance so they too can plan accordingly.
We have a guaranteed WHM and our second healer swaps between AST/SCH. The WHM being our main healer (although she does DPS when she can), the secondary healer generally only helps out in high damage phases of fights or when pre-shielding is necessary.

Savage is all about working together with your group and getting a feel for one another, then adjust tactics to what works for your group. A guide will only help somewhat. (Just a heads up, Raidfinder always has its own "Set ways" of doing things and most people do not like deviating from that)
