I'm a little dissapointed with the new direct heal. As someonw with the Ancient it's not really an upgrade for me. However the overall DPS done in the expansion coupled with the increase in tak skills/levels mean that my existing heals are enough in group content.

What I would have liked was an increase in the Group HoT - the AoE's are becomging more powerful and the Group HoT isn't enough. Sure I fire off the Epic/AA as well but with 3/15 mins recast delay they only help out on 1 iteration of a raid DoT. The next few land without help and I am once more spemming direct heals trying to keep up.

Probably never to be honest. I'd need mana pres, cast haste and healing focus to make the rank2 clearly superior. Being that my guild is way behind the curve, we don't see the newest focii.
Loving Halcyon though.
