    Just one thing of note: Using an instant gives you enough time for 2 oGCDs. So, for example, if you have aero III and II hit as the pull happens, you can them pop both assize and presence of mind, instead of needing to wait till later and GCD clip a stone 4, or pop a Lord of Crowns even with an expanded card also going out.

    As a general rule, clipping your dots is worst than letting them fall off and reapplying them (provided you don't wait more than a couple gcds). Obviously uptime is equally important but really comes second.

    PS: just to be clear, a lot of factors come into play here. Some dots might be worth clipping but as a general rule it is best not to.

    Also FFlogs is your friend. Take an encounter you're working on and look at how the high percentile (dps) healers are doing. You'll often get clues as to how you can optimally heal in order to free up gcds for dps. Those clues sometimes have nothing to do with the healers: a well placed addle, tank stance switch or skill, etc..
