Yes, but keep in mind if you're in a party of 5-6 and
distributing the damage relatively evenly, you're healing 165
or 198 points per tick. Lately, a lot of the fights I've been
in (Sol B and LGuk), the cleric has been superfluous, and
started nuking for lack of something better to do with all
that mana.

I've been too chicken to try. :)

I'm pretty sure our DoTs are 3 pulses, not 2 like our other
songs. So Hymn, Niv's, CoC, Hymn, Niv's, CoD, repeat is only
slightly less efficient.
