In PvE offhealer build is useless really. My dps is so low that I prefer to switch to FH and make sure that my party don't die! Paladins and Warden with support build have better offheal than me in offheal build XD
I don't get it, why ppl assume that when they off-heal they should also be on top of dps meter?
The role of off-heal is to help FH and improve a little dps compared to party with 2 healers (if you remember beginnings of doing s29+ or 41+)
When you do dps comparable with tank its all you are supposed to do. (And with correct build you can easily do 30% heals, and 10-15% dps of the party)
And
I don't agree with you saying that summy FH is not so useful in PvP. In
large PvP like AoD I'm one of the top healers. In small PvP like
Champion Fight Dominion I think I can do my good job switching heals
with our survival skills like Fear and Cover. It's just practice because
we are more squishy than plate healers.
I haven't said that summy FH is useless - I just said that it would never get close to efficiency of priest FH in PvP (especially dominions) - we have no willpower rubies, no bubble (reinc one was nerfed long time ago), cover do not removes cc effects, we don't have increased healing and resistances when our hp gets low. If there are 2 parties similarly geared and cash shopped the one with summy only FH is always worse than pt with plate FH.
As for AoD and other bgs - Its random and not coordinated - FH are not focused that much, so their job is easier
I know you play FH summy and I am convinced that you know what you are doing - so we can sum up this discussion to one sentence:
It depends on your play style
One thing you haven't mentioned and I totally agree with is that in PvE (especially raids) summy FH is way better than plate FH
