(Should also be mentioned, tanks are druid/dk and there are no other paladins.) I've run both, and while I love seeing big numbers with EF, I just wonder if it's wasted with that particular comp since druids and monks are both strong hot healers.
Both are obviously viable options, but I wonder which would be more beneficial... SS uptime, or the steady stream of healing through EF + beacon? I've always known that meters aren't the be-all and end-all of healing, but would this be one of those situations where the answer would be to say screw it to ranking as a healer for the sake of the raid?
This is in a 10 man raid, btw. Thoughts?
