Those are the numbers I'm seeing as well. Still arguable if 360 health (for 18K hp) is worth 4% healing taken (I personally feel the healing is probably better but that depends still on usage) but at very least having our one flex point in it will be the best use.

I'd still take the greater healing. I've been doing 3 - 4 raids a week (at least) on the PTS since 1.2 went live, and really I think gimping yourself (even slightly) for less health lost is a bit of an over reaction. Between our hot and aoe, and other healers hots/AoEs, consumption is really just a non issue.

There are very, very few times where I've not tapped because of my health. There's very few times I've even directly healed myself back up. The "splash" healing of my merc partner (an Op is even better) is more than enough to cover any HP lost, not to mention our own AoE.

I look at it like this: With no points in reduced consumption I tapped *every single time* consumption was up (and within a few seconds, too) this week in hard modes. Until I'm actively watching my health because I'm taking too much damage... I don't think it's worth it to sacrifice even a small amount of healing for less damage taken.

------------
As an aside, I have stopped using my End. Stim because of consumption, but in this tier of content there's really only two mechanics that hit harder than 15k. One is avoidable, the other can hit you twice within 2 seconds and is essentially a 1 shot - so basically WP stims are definitely the way to go, unlike T1 where some fights were questionable as to which to use.
