Is it worth buffing Power word fortitude with bursting?

I was curious if it’s actually worth buffing your group in mythic +. looking at the damage taken by the dps it seems to be around 45-55% of the total damage they take depending on the dps.

That obviously means the buff will increase dps damage taken by around 5% across the length of the dungeon, and require 5% more healing. Do you think this trade off is worth it, or probably better to just not press it? or press it, and ask all the dps to remove it, while the tank keeps it?

You have a very fair point… though I think some abilities on bosses and maybe even trash would cause you to benefit from the extra health you’d have. Because of this, I don’t think it’d be worth remove-aura-ing your buff every time a pack died.
The 10% health is like a safety cushion, even though, yes, it negatively affects bursting for the healer, causing them to have to heal more.

I don’t. Or at least I would’t if my shadow priest teammate stopped trolling me by reapplying it and saying “i trust you can do it”.

I think blizzard should bring back single target buffing. Optimally i’d like only the tank to be buffed.
