Healers, AoE, Initial Impressions

Healers' usability have been diminished somewhat, since if you have a squishy toon that has lost protection but the rest of your squad has not, you have to waste healing just for the one toon while everyone else sees no benefit.

Seems that AoE attacks are more valuable now to reduce an entire enemy squad's protection. Up until now I haven't relied on AoE attacks as much because of healers, as the damage from an AoE attack would be undone with the first heal.
