Yoyo,
I’ve just dinged 70 on my monk, and I’d like to try some SS. However, what I have the most troubles with (at least testing in 2s while I still farm honor) is burst healing.
When enemy team pops their offensive cooldowns, what should I do? I know that in general I heal by dealing damage, but what to do when their DPS is higher than my FW HPS? Should I port away and spam heals? Is it even stronger?
Or maybe I should just use big defensives, and keep going with usual?
Without gear its hard to top against the damage and it can be punishing if ur ancient not healing you.
Try to rotate trough your cooldowns while ur doing damage. If you feel like u cant get trough it try to port away and ask for peels. In 3s i can easily heal 2 dps sitting on me, while im not going out of defcds, or get catched in a long cc chain.
Thanks!
When they go me, I also find it easier, because I have 3 personal defensive. Meanwhile, I have only 1 for my teammates, so that’s where I struggle. What to do what cocoon is down, and my HPS is not enough?
All I’m asking is if you guys often start casting usual heals, or just do the instant ones and continue with kicking their faces 
Im only kicking their faces. I cancel cast Essence Born if i lose my Faeline because ppl moving around. Maybe a instant Vivify could help a little if u cant hit enemies. And its important to use ur Chiji, huge CD on 1 min CD
Its important to try to stand as much as possible in your faeline, thats a huge dps and hps gain.
But outside of that, your mate also need to react to the enemies cooldowns or cc on you.
Thanks! That’s all I had to know.
If they’re focusing you, you can port away, cast an Enveloping Mist (through Soothing Mist, it’s faster even with the GCD, because Enveloping Mist has an unwarrantedly long cast time) on yourself and port back in. This will increase the healing from Ancient Teachings as well.
Other than that you obviously trade CDs for CDs where needed.
Whatever you do though, avoid getting into a scenario where you’re casting anything more than an Enveloping Mist. Vivify does NOT do enough healing. Treat something like Evasion, Die by the Sword and Blur as a hard CC on you if you have nothing else to hit.
This one is so true, and it takes probably the longest to adjust switching from other healers 
Thanks for the tips mate.
