I'm bored when I heal because I need more complex DPS rotations

Does it really though?

A big part of the problem with AST is that the buffs individually are all super weak now. The way you get actual benefit out of them is to dogpile everything into the 2 minute burst window. That leaves you with 1 or 2 free cards between those windows. That's less activity than even Lilies. If you're spreading your cards out on cooldown, sorry but you're doing it wrong. Playing sub par to get a 'better' experience isn't really a road that's acceptable to go down in my book.

I can only speak from my own experience, having played both WHM and AST.
AST obviously had something which WHM didnt.. since i didnt went back playing WHM.
