20M healing, close to equal to what most dpsers did on tsulong in the 2 nightphases combined (from memory).
Also on Sha of Fear, whether intentional or not, we always had at least 5 hybrids to backup heal groups during huddle in terror. Doing that fight without hybrids is prety much impossible when not outgearing it.
Of course noone replaced mages, cuz they were/are OP, but you can replace a hunter, or a warrior, or whatever class brings utility not suited for that fight.
I don't know why so many people in this thread are turning their backs on our utility. Do you actually think that if we lost all our healing capabilities and got 10k more dps you'd be more valueable to your raid? I don't think so.
