I understand the value of HoTs on MT but what about when your tank can take up to 24k or even more damage in two seconds? If you have 2 paladins, 2 shamans and a holy priest literally spamming the tank the value of multiple sets of HoTs seems questionable.

It's not *freedom* in that sense that paladins could spam HL11 even with a shadow priest (-2100mp5 is just too much) but yes, I went from R7+R11 to R9+R11 and that boosted my output alot. In our strategy soakers took only moderate damage and I gained 6,4k mana from SA.
In my opinion healing bosses like Brutallus you just don't have so many options to control your mana consumption than you have on, say, Council ("hey the tank is topped, I'll switch to FoL").
