I believe the game has gone down the route of having much more fleshed out healing kits now but I haven't tried it to see how well things have turned out.

Warhammer online is still the peak of healing design in a theme park trinity mmo though. The healers were diverse, impactful and were all highly rewarding to play in their own way with lots of room for big risky plays that could really swing things. Anyone who says that classic trinity MMO healers need to be as monotonous as they are in FFXIV would do well to read up on how Warhammer's Warrior and Rune Priests played out. It's a huge shame that EA weren't willing to commit to the running development costs that a theme park MMO demands to succeed.
OMG Blade & Soul was so much fun!! I played that ages ago…definitely worth checking out!
