There is no difference in HPS or DPS between [Holy, Holy, Cure II, Cure II, repeat] and [Holy, cure II, Holy, cure II, repeat] for example.
The only downside to this is with the the loss of aero/bio/Combust weave opportunities have grown scarce. I really want to largesse and cast a heal but i need to wait until x amount of time to clip/reapply my dot or its a dps loss. Hang on tankb your buffed heal and ogcd is on its way.
