But thanks for your input, and sorry I did not add that into my previous comment.
I really don't agree. Cast an Essential Dignity on someone that is under 10% HP, it will explode Tetragrammaton's potency. Especially if it crits.
Tetragrammaton is more like Lady of Crowns. Its potency is lower but you can virtually use it every 30 seconds.
Plus AST has an instant GCD heal (with added effect of the sect) where WHM only has a Regen.
It's the little things, but overall AST can ironically put out much more healing than WHM without sacrificing DPS, in a raid context. And it comes with cards.
