Note it can take a while to get to the reusable stuff (first you get a green, then dissemble, then get a blue, then dissemble, and hope you learn the reusable pattern).

Actually, I believe the BiS Adrenal, Medpack, and Stim are from your trainer, for 19,000 each, and require the biometric (I think) alloy from the final boss of a Hard flashpoint, or the first four from EV.

2. I can spam heal my self with both of the above mentioned priorities for about a minute and then I am out of force. When is it a good idea to start using Consumption to get back foce?

1. You are very close to what I do. However I rarely use Dark Heal because it is very inefficient. But that is a pretty basic priority list for healing a tank. Of course different situations can cause you to stray from that priority which is why I would not call it a rotation.

2. It is always a good idea to hit Consumption each time Force Surge procs when your Innervate crits, assuming you are not starved for the Global Cooldown. Force Surge makes Consumption free by not costing health or degenerating your mana regeneration. It does trigger the Global Cooldown, so it is not a good idea to hit it if anyone is in immediate danger. This is assuming you put 2/2 in the Force Surge talent, which you definitely should.

I'm actually going to disagree here about that rotation a bit. I use a priority system, and it keeps me 100% force neutral unless I have to do some "oh shit" healing.

Resurgence, Innervate, Consumption, Barrier, Resurgence, Revivification, resurgence, innervate, consumption, barrier, Dark heal, 2 second downtime.

That's basically what the rotation looks like if I recall. You might get 3 times through it before everything is on GCD. Basically though the priority is to always use resurgence and innervate and consumption ASAP, once the right procs are up. Everything else is filler.

Doing that rotation will mean you never drop below 80% mana. If I DO need bigger heals, I use Dark Infusion until we're good, then back to the rotation above.

Sometimes it's true you don't have time to cast your aoe, or to Tap for force, but if those situations ever last more than 20 seconds or so something else is probably wrong. I've done just about every fight in the game now, and there's ALWAYS downtime for you to recover, which, if everything goes right, you shouldn't need.

Using the rotation above I've finished every Raid boss on normal above 90% force, although on 2 of them I did dip down to about 50% during the fight.
