Random raid damage on any encounters like twins + m'uru + KJ could easily blow apart anyone soul linked with a tank, and since its reactive and doesn't actually heal or stop damage, it will only be mediocre at saving people from random damage, especially since you're losing your GCD that could just be a LHW

I see it more as a crappy, random PW:S that will hopefully just be replaced with something more substantial. After the abomination ES is for PvE compared to everyone else's 51 point talents, I think resto deserves a bit more. Ok, except for Divine Illumination, pallies got hosed too.
