Minor Rotation:
Major Rotation:

Comments: Healers are Tough to determine when there is not a set rotation and they just respond to situations. That is why Orderken’s models are nice because they work in the opposite direct from the way I am calculating. He starts with the assumption that he knows the % of healing each ability will do and he works backwards to find the activation rate that matches those percentages. Healers should be warned that the gearing assumes a static rotation that may not be representative of an actual fight.
