    Minor Arcana is just draw, but reduced to 2 cards for melee and ranged. Not an improvement, but it's literally just Draw without the unnecessary complication.
    Celestial Opposition actually has a unique and interesting application and isn't just another heal.
    The identity of Malefic and Benefic making your next hardcast of Malefic/Gravity/Benefic/Benefic II/Helios instant is very interesting and makes you think about how you approach healing and DPS, and which you're going to use the instant cast on.
    Neutral Sect changing Benefic and Helios into their aspected forms makes the effects feel more special.

    I'm not saying we need to replicate this completely, of course. We don't want to just drop the main arcanum cards, Earthly Star is one of the most interesting healer tools still available, and Horoscope's animation is too good to lose.
    WHM also has some interesting PvP effect, such as Solace having a Regen effect attached

    That said I wouldn't mind seeing Phantom Dart, and Abridged in PVE. But I don't wanna lose the sect stances and their icons/animations which I fear the lockout of the apsected skills behind Neutral as wel as its current effect would probably entail.

    ..Though now that I think of it, the Sects changing Helios to Aspected Helios might be interesting and I can see it happening to Benefic if they are willing to have the Sects affect Malefic as well (Like the two skills being as symmetrical as possible)

    All that said the healer PVP chances were a result a of a lower skill cap and translating the PVE mechanics, the Cure/Benefic 1 trait is likely the basis of Abridged in the first place
