1) Yes, Fistweaving does more DPS than any other healer is capable of.

3) In arenas and RBGs, resilience and PvP Power make fistweaving worthless. In raids, range limitations, GCD limitations, and comparing to actual DPS makes fistweaving lackluster. Much like Healing Sphere, it seems very good when you first think about it, but in practice it's pretty bad and you won't see any real difference if you simply don't use it at all. It's fun to play around with and feel like we're doing something, but it's really not useful where it matters.
And really, don't come into this forum citing duels and normal 5 mans as anything serious, I might have an aneurysm.
