Some good advice in general but this right here was the diamond in the rough. How is this true? (It is, I investigated) Seems . . . if not "broken" necessarily, then at least just not right.

Inner Fire may be efficient hp/mana but is no effective in terms of hp/second. It can't be used to heal people with a superior hp/ac type buff on (pretty much anything from the cleric/druid lines apart from maybe courage and skin like wood).

Great for healing a target receiving less than 6 dps, or less than 3dps if you are hoping to catch med ticks.

Once incoming dps exceeds 6, or the incoming dps is very spikey, inner fire loses its value.

Compare to Light Healing, which can heal about 15dps (and casts faster for when you need a heal FAST), or Healing which can heal at about 30dps.7

For a mid 20 shaman PLing a 1-20 monk by mainly buffing and healing inner fire is a decent option.
