I particularly like the new abilities with the lily system, they make healing a bit easier, especially when tanks don't want to do small pulls. Overall, I am happy with where WHM is at. Its not complicated, and I dont have to worry about a rotation. I suck with rotations, I can never remember them or perform them optimally so the current state of WHM is fine for me. :3
Which would be fine... if the game necessitated frequent healing. It doesn't. Many healers want either a greater emphasise on healing or buff management in lieu of simply DPS. Unfortunately, FFXIV just doesn't allow for it. If you primarily want to focus on healing, you will more than likely be playing the job inefficiency.
