I'd agree and disagree with this. Disagree because way back in ARR healer DPS wasn't as big of a thing. Going into Cleric Stance legit felt like a risk-reward, and particularly more so for SCH where you could apply your DoTs, have lustrate for emergencies, and then take stance off if needed. I do agree that it would not work nowadays with the way the game has gone, and it would not be an option, only a nuance.
