    - RDMs do have rotations; it just happens that they are proc and priority-based.

    - There are perfectly good ways to use Vercure; this thread was about players who are the RDM equivalent of the Ice Mage or the Physick Arcanist.

    - Not sure why people are jumping to defend poor gameplay. The only thing I've attacked here is unnecessary and excessive use of a healing GCD on a DPS class. Some people at least seem to get the humor, I suppose.

    RDM have a priority-based casting system, yes. It's not 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3 though, so technically speaking we don't use the term "rotation" ...

    As for "where the heck are those darn RDM learning this stuff?" -- it's from the single-player duties, FATEs, and in-general world encounters on the way to level 60-70 and SB content. You'd be surprised how many times there is a need for a heal when there isn't a healer around. Do that for, oh, 16 levels, and it becomes ingrained.

    Unless the RDM is trying to be a healer, it isn't really the same thing as an Ice Mage. And Physick Arcanists (really?) become Scholars at level 30, when they can queue as healers.
