Try reading what you quoted, and then look at that image you posted again, and see if you can figure out what the issue is.
I'll give you a hint: using a damage spell to splash heal large groups of people isn't "only healing."
Guess you are right.. If we ignore the main healing ability of shams they are the worst
And if we don't.. they should in most cases heal more even when adding protection score (which is also not healing) and the 25% heal bonus tactic.
As a relatively new player, I can tell you that he is right. You can call that AOE siphon a main heal, but it is still situational, and very difficult for new players to master. I have tried on my shaman, and its really hard to use it to keep your group alive in mid tier scenarios. Much more difficult then just spamming direct heals.
Using FotG is pretty simple once you play around with it a bit. Use someone in the melee blob as your defensive target when you use it. When it’s on CD, you should be tossing HoTs and cleanses, which also give another HoT if you’re running the tactic for it. Ready for the next FotG? Back to the target in the melee blob and use it. In organized groups, I mark the MA and always have them as the defensive target for FotG. It really shines with a CD reducer since you should be able to spam 5 in a row. That being said, it becomes less effective the less organized your group becomes. One neat little trick with it that people might realize though is that it can heal people you can’t see. No other skill can do that. As long as they are close enough for you to target them, they will receive the heal from FotG. I’ve used that in a few tricky situations to keep people up who otherwise would have died.
