If you can find a SCH/WHM pair your run will be optimal. If not, your fallback plan is 2 WHMs, your raid might struggle, but definitely passable. Stuck with 2 SCH? Tough luck, lol.

    Even in WoW healers aint equal. Holy priest shines in 25m, most switch to disc for 10m. Holy pal is always a requirement for 25m tank healing. However unlike this game priest is a unique healing class with 2 healing tree to switch at will (albeit not optimal with the same set of gear), they are willing to switch to meet the demand. Plus, WoW got an excellent fight battle designing team that allows for a very flexible healing composition (unless its cutting edge progression fights).

    As I always said, level an SCH to feel the pain yourself. A WHM saying SCH is fine? Why am I so surprised?
    Whm+Whm is imo better then sch+whm perhaps until they fix the faerie. Whm+whm has its strengths over sch+ whm and the way the endgame is designed favours 2 whm .

    Double whm's strength is
    Immense passive raid healing, giving whms more time to spot heal and tank heal
    Higher potency heals along with higher base healing by around 40hp(test it yourselves).
    Higher burst healing
    more control over their cooldowns and healing direction
    much longer uptime on "divine seal" along with a better way to utilize it (regeneration snap shots)
    Larger aoe radius

    who has more time to heal the tank/others?
    the whm who spends 2.5 sec casting for 200+500 potency hp healed in 15 seconds
    or the sch who spends 12.5 sec casting for 750 potency hp healed with a temporary 150 shield left over.
    2 whm large healing per cast healing simply gives them more time to outheal and provide more healing output in a smaller time phase. Then having a sch would . Sch spends more GCDs casting to reach the same amount of healing. The amount mitigated by sch's 50% uptime of -10% damage reduction within a small circle does not even begin to bridge the gap.

    Because of how much extra time sch wastes casting spells. Whm is the better tank and raid healer atm. IF SE fix and allow sch more control over the faerie sch may catch up or beat whm in tank healing(though still be behind in raid healing). However se have not annouced fixes and we only have speculation on how they may fix the faeries.

    At the moment the healing required for coil 1,2 ,3 and 4 is still very forgiving with plenty of time to waste gcds (not sure about coil 5 or 6) The real test of healing will be when there is fight where wasting even 1 gcd will result in falling too far behind.
