We have made this point. It's the fact you never hold it that makes it weaker then Sacred Soil. When you do not hold it it becomes weaker then Soil because you loose one of the effects after 3 seconds while the other persists. Sacred Soil does BOTH effects at half the cooldown. And as I've repeated time and again the dps loss of not using energy Drain is mitigated not only by the additional healing potency you're saving for later with the fae gauge, but by the fact you're theoretically reducing the gcd healing your cohealer has to do, which gives back more potency then you lose.
