Dare to say 'I would like a slightly more complex rotation for healers, for the times when I don't have to heal (TL note, that's like 70% of the time even in high end content)' and it's either BLM or TK MNK that people seem to jump straight to. Meanwhile I'm thinking of things like... a 'rotation' akin to 'BRD without the songs, or Iron Jaws'. That'd be 'maintain two DOTs, use Empyreal Arrow, Bloodletters and Sidewinder (all 3 are OGCDs), spam Burst Shot til you proc, spend proc on Refulgent'. If you consider Shadowflare as a GCD version of Empyreal, what I wrote for SCH is kinda getting there, it would just need something that Broil would 'proc', maybe an empowered version of Ruin2 (call it Kaustra or Meltdown or whatever)
