    I don't think healers need more complex dps rotations, but rather new skills and traits expanding on their secondary identities.

    In WHM's case it would translate to more skills that do damage and heal at the same time. oGCD's to heal or damage to weave with healing or damaging spells.
    WHM's identity of the nuker would benefit from a playstyle that weaves damage and healing together. No utility translates to huge personal dps.

    AST doesn't need more dps tools, but rather new ways to expand on her buffs. Maybe a revamp of royal road, time dilation and new card mechanics so that the player truly feels an impact everytime he draws a card.

    SCH would be the debuffer/enfeebler of the three. Have its ocd's no longer consume AF but rather fey gauge. Then use AF to apply debuffs that either reduce damage done or increase damage taken to a single target. Like a Scan ability that'd reveal weakpoints.

    I also play healers to avoid "rotation", but I define that as complexity derived from arbitrary interactions between abilities. I'm happy to have more damage skills as long as my gameplay is still more about problem-solving than about trying to manage my own spells and cast them in the right order or whatever. DoT and debuff management is something I would enjoy, because it gives me a job to do and not a rotation to manage.

    I'd rather do it the other way around and have the debuffs use the faerie gauge. Heals are more critical for a healer than debuffs, and I'd rather not have them gated behind a resource that takes as long to build as the faerie gauge.

    Well that can also be adjusted. Maybe applying debuffs could give extra FG, or maybe crits from your adlo and physick could also increase fairy gauge. Or everytime Fairy uses embrace she gains fg too.
