I don't see why I shouldn't have HoTs set up to go off "automatically", unless I'm drastically overhealing. Particularly, the hands free HoTs allow me to actually utilize the things instead of just waiting to hit a heal button, which can still be done, but seems grossly inefficient outside of having a stand-around healer, which is appropriate at times, but seems kind of a waste since I have a perfectly good DPSer just standing there.

Also, I'm not using Kara as a measuring stick. I'm aware its been nerfed to hell and back. 3 boxing Attumen is quite a kick. Its still one of two places 10-boxing really applies, and at this point figuring out how to drive the group is my priority. I have been noticing, however, that for as long as I've been boxing my healers spend more time DPSing than they do actually healing. Seems to me speccing them DPS is going to help more than it hurts.

Sole exception being the Shaman, who just flat out gets too much from the Resto Tree for me to spend too much time pew-pewing into a tree that offers what is still sub-par DPS.
