Aurora - Decent self heal to an already strong cooldown rotation that you really can have a constant cooldown on GNB at all times....Can be cast on other members with no issue. Great OT utility
Abyssal Drain - maybe one of the weakest self heal abilities in a 1v1 aspect. But in AOE, HOLY MOLY is it strong as hell. I personally couple this with large pulls. Living Dead with Abyssal Drain is actually OP as hell, and highly rewarding. TBN....stop crying you have the best mitigation tool in the game....literally the best...ever...for all time!

Each cast of Clemency drops a Paladin's dps by a significant amount. They might be able to toss out 1800 to 2520 potency heals during their burst window, but this comes at a cost of 525+ dps every cast.
Aurora on a 60s cooldown with a total potency of 1200. Aurora and Equilibrium have the exact same healing potential.
Abyssal Drain is equal to Equalibrum and Aurora as a heal when you have 6 targets but severely weakens as a heal with fewer.

Nascent Flash combined with Inner Chaos is a 1610 potency self-heal every 20s. No other tank can keep up without losing a lot of dps..

And now we have Nascent Flash, which is now a REAL skill no longer shackled to a party member. This with burst phase and more Path heals....I guarantee healers are going to love healing warriors as they can pretty much take care of themselves much like DRK, PLD, GNB, can.....o wait......that's all the tanks!

Not really. Warrior is unlikely to need very much healing. With the NF changes, Equilibrum and Thrill of Battle, there will be little need to heal them outside tank busters. No other tank has near the self-healing that a Warrior has and pretty much no solo combat will be able to kill a Warrior.
