Not long, depending on your class. It's a great utility item, especially for classes like shamans and enchanters. Those classes are known to be kinda useless for the majority of raids, so it's nice that they can solo this quest for a bit of utility. A shaman healing for 500 isn't going to do shit on a mob like Hoshkar, trust me.

Honestly, the raid atmosphere here balances it a bit. It's not like you can leave VP to go turn in another SoulFire, so you have a max of 5 clicks for a weekend.

And there's no rogue CH chain. The fights where SoulFire is useful (like Hoshkar and Nexona) are too hectic for a rogue to casually click tanks and stuff to see if they could use a CH. It's really just the job of bench classes like shaman, and even then most don't even bother with the quest.

And just because you didn't know about SoulFire on live doesn't mean that people didn't use them. Can't even begin to count how many bugs/exploits were discussed daily in the crucible, stuff that will never exist here. P99 is much more hardcore, but at the same time it's a lot more fair than live ever was.
