Oh I didn't know I needed special permissions from you. Sorry, that's not how forums work. I might have >6 hcs or not, but you won't ever know it. I am terribly sorry for not feeling like having to prove myself, especially to you.
Also, you're using a website which uses the specs people log out with as evidence for holy's being played by 0.7%. I mean, how good is that?
Compared to his posts about how FDCL is really bad for holy since holy doesn't spot heal and therefore nobody will take that talent, this thread at least has an ounce of reality though.
IIRC we had Atonement for Holy for a short while during MoP. For that to work, it needs to do comparable hps to what holy usually does (and that's a bit hard since holy lacks Penance) or else you end up with the Druid talent which nobody uses for progress. Your idea of more damage and less healing also works though, monks have that; they can pull higher dps than disc, but they sacrifice quite a lot of hps for that (for the record, that's the only utility they have too). I don't think it's going to happen though; although maybe at 6.0 they will change it so every healer can dps to heal to some extent.
I can't say Sanctuary as a small cd would be useless. Well, any buffs would be useful of course. If that would happen, it should happen after a Chakra change though. Going disc just to have Barrier used to happen, so I guess that might be an important factor depending on the fight.
I don't think I felt the need of a output cd as holy, but as I raid 10s, I don't have to take DI most of the time so I can pick ToF or PI (used to be more PI, nowadays it's more ToF). Maybe DI should be baseline for the next expansion...

You better inform Jhazrun then, clearly he's doing it wrong :P
