How to make Dragon Knight healer aspect a thing 「Opinion」

So IMO the new changes to Dragon Knight coming in Summerset are vastly disappointing if not plain stupid. The focus is allowing each class to be able to function all roles a lot better so we don't have the same old only DKs will either DD or Tank and only Templars will either DD or Heal.

On the PTS thread I proposed two changes to bring a IMO better way to function as a healer instead of the current sloppy & outright disrespectful changes made to the class I love.

Change #1: Igneous shield will give a stronger shield to allies while retaining the 200% shield applied to the player. It will also re-gain it's 6-7s major mending buff but upon using Igneous shield, it will apply an instant heal to allies when the shield expires or is broken. The heal I feel should be around 4k (base value on a magicka spec).

Change #2: Cauterize will now Heal two targets including the caster. When holding the button/key cauterized is tied to, it will high-light up to two allies until they're out of range. They will remain high-lighted even if the skill is no longer active but until the caster deselects them.

I believe these two changes alone will allow Mag DKs to become a more sought after healer as they will be able to target heal two players e.g Tank/off tank, Tank/healer,etc. Igneous will be able to take some damage off of allies while giving them a heal & as a healer you always want major mending up on strong fights, so this will serve as a mass heal for large-scale events.

Thoughts?
Current changes proposed for the final Summerset update
Cinder Storm (Ash Cloud morph): This morph now increases the healing done.
Shattering Rocks (Petrify morph): This morph has been redesigned so that when the stun ends, it causes the enemy’s next attack to heal their target.

    You should really include a description of the changes on the PTS that you don't like so people don't have to go hunt them down to give you an opinion.

    There ya go, there was two healing focused changes to the DK class both which I feel are meant for dueling based on testing as they didn't provide any benefit in group content nor in open world PvP.

    Dk is already best tank class. I’d rather see zos buff warden tank and nightblade healer.

    Lol mate this is about changes for the DK in terms of healing rather than the current changes they laid out which were lazy. I don't think you read my post but as your username has "troll" in it... I'll leave it at that & thanks for the bump.
