If the whole point of the thread is maximising consumables then the use of either a health or a protection potion is questionable. Surely dps should be using their pot cooldown for haste/destruction, tanks for ironshield and healers should be drinking mana pots? Even a tank using health/protection potion when tanking an elemental is questionable since it'll mostly likely just add to the overhealing.
Please don't misunderstand me. Lightening the load on healers is useful, commonplace and often necessary on many fights. However, if we're talking about gathering rare buffs and using little-known tricks for some extra boost on a raid boss, then likely we aren't going to waste potion cooldown on something that isn't our primary function.
