Lightning staff choices for healers

The argument for healers carrying a Charged lightning staff starts:
  • Somebody should do it.
  • Better the healer than somebody who is optimizing DPS.

The argument that somebody should do it has been:
  • Concussed is good to cause for its own sake, because it's likely to be only source of Minor Vulnerability, which is good stuff.
  • Further, assuming Lightning Blockade is up, Concussion also leads to Off-Balance.

The last part of that has been nerfed with the limitations on Off-Balance. Should healers follow this approach even so? Or do Infused staffs with Weapon Damage enchantments (for example) now make more sense?

    By the way, the one healing set lightning staff I have transmuted so far with the flood of crystals we're getting in the event was to Infused. But that was a Molag Kena's Touch, and since it's a named drop I expect to get another one of it at some point. So I didn't think too long about the choice.

    I never liked the positional limitation of blockade and the nerf made me more comfortable dropping blockade and putting reflective light back on my bar. * shrugs *

    I usually carry both. My destro bar, by default, is:
    • Blockade
    • Shards
    • Reflective Light
    • Purifying Light
    • Elemental Drain
    • (Ultimate)

    Purifying Light is basically flexed with Sweeps.

    atm infallible aether got very popular again for healers. this set applies minor vulnerability on a heavy attack. especially it gets used, where elemental blockade cant be used for reason or additional to blockade.

    Wow, I'm running the exact same skills on my destro bar except I'm running Sweeps vs Blockade.

    Wow I am running the exact same skills on my bar exept instead of reflective light, I have radiant glory.

    Front bar master resto is

    *vampires bane,
    * Honor the dead(that will be replaced with ritual of rebirth next patch),
    * extended ritual,
    * springs,
    * combat prayer.
    * solar prison since the extra 10% chd from piercing spear is getting taken away from heals.
