Sure they can do it in a pinch if the MP if in excess and alittle bit of damage helps. However counting on WHM dmg consistently is going to be very difficult because most WHM will resist the notion. For good reason too. Why make life overly complicated for 3 PT members by splitting the roles and sharing numerous responsible in a fight when it is so much easier to do what each job is designed to do?
This is why I think Chrian Zabran's Tempest is unnecessary for most content. It's bad for nuking and the massive healing potency bonus usually just isn't necessary. I gear my whm with a double melded Wand of Tremors and the Gridanian GC shield instead, which lets me give out some pretty decent stone/stonera combos while keeping my HP above 2.6k.
