Whether this is in fact optimal compared to the "dedicated" three-Soul healy (Cleric) or three-Soul tanky (Warrior) approach to the situation I've no clue, but then again I imagine that as a "crap, we really need a healer for this 5-man dungeon, but can't find a Cleric... You there, the Mage in the group, go Chloromancer to heal and I'll go Warlord to help with the debuffage, while you go so-and-so Souls" bla bla bla. Long story short, patchwork jobs. Doubtfully able to ace the final epic ultimate jazz, but at least capable of doing the funzies-content that isn't going to feed on your tears anyway. Plus, I guess you could overlap various "control/support" tertiary or even secondary Souls to lessen the damage taken or what not. *shrug*
