During Diamondback windows you have time to apply your Bristle + Song of Torment (2 GCDs) Surpanakha (4 hits with 0.5 seconds recast, essentially a GCD), cast Gobskin or heal the tank (yay another GCD) for the following mechanics and that's it.
Pom Cure is also 1.5 seconds cast before spell speed mods, so you have all the time in the world to throw your damage OGCDs in there.
I even removed my standard damage GCD spell and replaced it with Blood Drain for T13 specifically, because White Wind is expensive and as mentioned above there are times when you need to cast it 3 times in a row and that's 4500 MP gone.


Read the above and ask yourself: do you want any of that?
Interesting perspective.

Honestly? THAT would make me quit healing.

Like, that's basically just the other extreme.
While I believe that they can hit a middle ground, spamming heals like that sounds so stressful. If all fights were like that I'd bounce.

Though it would change the whole game. All fights would be more prone to snowballing. I became a tank main because this is my first "real" MMO and I'm not very good and needed to play something that's more "oops proof," but if healers changed like that...
Healing really seems to be balanced around low level play and if all healing worked like BLU I imagine we'd lose a lot of the casual community.

Also, man... it would be hard on new healers.
