Divine Seal was available at level 50 (or lower?), as was Protect (which could have been reworked). Having those taken away and only given back at level cap is horrid.
I see this argument come up a lot. About having one healing class with a more complex dps rotation. There's a very good reason this will NEVER happen.

There's only two possible outcomes for making one healer a complex dps rotation healer:

1) You don't increase the dps ceiling. You simply nerf the potency of each skill in the rotation to make the maximum output of getting the rotation right on par with what we have now.

2) You do increasing the dps ceiling. Thereby punishing casual healers AND at the same time locking the other endgame healers out of the endgame meta because this new dps healer will always be able to bring more to the table.

A few players complaining on the healer forums that they're bored with the current 1 nuke and 1 dot is not enough to justify either of those outcomes. Some say they don't want potency increases they just want the same rotation with the same theoretical output but...c'mon, that's absurd. Nobody believes that. Nobody wants increased risk and complexity for no increased reward. Can you imagine what a mess it would be if that idea were implemented and suddenly you had non healer forum users who suddenly saw their dps plummet because a few people on the healer forums claimed they were bored with the nuke + dot?

Every group I've been in with Savage Titan seems to be having a hell of a time with how complex the fight is as currently is. A more complicated rotation to cause even more wipes assuming someone hitting that rotation properly would have the same dps output someone does now with 1 nuke + 1 dot would be an absolute disaster.
