My biggest problem with LD is the amount of effort it takes for a non-whm to save the DK. When the tank is a DK, the healer is a WHM, and the content is something actually challenging like savage, the WHM instantly knows that the DK might LD at some point and will save benediction for that moment. Or just go ham with the healing because they have stupid-awesome healing output.

SCH would burn through lustrates, recitation, ET + Aldo, and Fey illum just to save the DK. Not sure about AST since I don't play them.

My point: if LD had a built-in convalescence, I would be less annoyed, as a SCH main healer. Or if DKs could somehow clear it themselves, that would be fantastic. At least WARs have ToB and equil after using HG.
