Starting up a CNJ blog... Please critique

Please check it out. It's intended to provide help and advice for healing in general, and CNJ/WHM in particular. I just started it, so it has an about page and a single post intended to help folks get ready for the first dungeon. I'll continue to post on it, providing in depth help for dungeons, tough quests, and general thoughts on the class. Would love for folks to drop in, start some discussions, and provide feedback on the content.

Thanks in advance for anybody who takes time to look into it.

I'm currently a level 22 THM and was considering giving CNJ a go. Your blog was very informative and helpful, thanks!

Tibberton,

Thanks for the blog post, I found it very useful. Especially, in answering some tactic and agro questions I was having.

[Shug]

Very good stuff here. Thanks.

Love the blog so far! Hope you keep at it. I especially loved the healing 101 mind set and philosophy of healing.. great advice for life in general but especially for any MMO healer to take into any group setting.

Good stuff. I would suggest adding a blog post for your healing tactics on successfully healing: primals, dungeon (bosses), etc.

Note: I just perused through the blog, I apologize for anything you may have already covered.

Cross-Class MUST HAVES:

THM
Surecast (already mentioned)
Swiftcast (Didn't see)

I believe you need to emphasize the importance of Surecast and Swiftcast.

Surecast can allow you to precast your longer spells (Medica II/Cure III) during a boss's move. It prevents interruption, it allows you to time your spells so that they cast as soon as damage drops, and allows you to take another action immediately afterwards.
Swiftcast (THM Lv26) - it allows you to cast your next spell instantly.

Personal Opinion on play style:

As you draw closer to post-story content, you should notice that you'll have less and less time to actually pop nukes off. MP Management/Enmity Management takes greater importance over trying to squeeze in a Stone II. Effective use of Divine Seal, Shroud of Saints, Regen, and Cure I (Free Cure trait) may determine if you have enough MP or not for the entire duration of a boss fight.

Perhaps elaborate on overhleaing. Current speculation of enmity trends (nothing empirical that I have seen, just observation) mention that extra enmity is generated when you overheal.
