First off the change to Selene (Getting a new aoe Cleanse and her speed buff being rolled into one moved with 60 second CD and 30 duration is amazing.)
They have given a few new healing buttons.
Indomitability is a 400 potency aoe heal for aetherflow with a 30-40 second cooldown (not sure exactly) Has been used to amazing effect.
Change to luster being 600 potency with a chance to crit.
Deployment tactic: Spreads Eye for an Eye and Galvanize shield to those around the target, starting the pull with a near 4k+ shield on the whole party is niiiiiiice
Emergency tactic: Removes the shield from your next galvanize and turns it to straight healing. (not exactly sure the use as a 4k adlo with an 8k shield is 12k effective healing...so a 12k heal is the same.)
Dissipation. Not sure I like it to much. Sack your pet for a full stack of aetherflow and a 20% increase to healing for 30 seconds. you can't resummon your pet until the effect is over. (my big problem is my pet is 1800 MP which is nearly 20% of my mp bar...)
And Broil a 170 potency spam attack, I've found SCH leveling and solo PVE easier that SMN setting Selene down for buff and healing you while you spam in cleric stance has been awesome!
Yeah, I've been using the new abilities quite a bit, though I haven't gotten high enough level for Dissipation yet.
Indomitability is literally an AoE Lustrate and I use it to similar effect. After a big AoE hit, I pop it to get everyone back to decent numbers and slap a Succor on them. All square.
I use Deployment Tactics as you have mentioned - it's part of my pre-pull rotation now to set the tank's Adlo Galvanize and Eye for and Eye on everyone before they run in.
Emergency Tactics I've really only used in a couple situations. On Succor when everyone's taken a hit and Indomitability/Aetherflow isn't up... and one a secondary Adlo on a low-health tank. First is for heal and the improved shield, second is to bring them back from the brink. I suppose it can also be useful as a weaker Lustrate, especially coupled with Swiftcast.
And Broil has replaced Ruin I as my spell to spam. I think I've even pulled Ruin I off my bars at this point (which will surely come back to bite me if I ever end up running level-synced stuff where I don't have access to Broil or Ruin II...).
