The 20s cd on Harbinger of Doom only triggers when you switch it off, i.e. go *back* to healing, or d'you mean sth else?
So if you are in healing mode and switch to DPS you can immediately go back to healing? And then the cooldown is in place?
Yeah, at least that's how it should be/was on live, I haven't tried it here recently tbh.

still, dps:ing as a zealot / rp is something you don't want to do. It does less then minor damage

It has its uses. You might want to go DPS before using your Stagger so it doesn't get disrupted, then you immediately switch back to Healing mode.

Yeah, that's right-- makes it easier to do when entering a zone, since the calculation doesn't work until you do so. Also makes it nice when your group is not getting hit and you can drop a DoT or two before switching back to healing.
