Not trying to start an arguement, but how many here have actually played a SK? I just seems like alot of people are over-estimating just how powerful they are. Yea, they can get some pretty cool crit heals once in a while, but it doesn't scratch what I can self-heal myself for. That was one of the reasons they were so upset when their lifetaps were all linked together. In todays game when 30-40k is possible buffed up in group gear, a 5k proc that you can't immediately recast doesn't really cut it for real healing. Its just a band-aid between real heals.
I mean, so people have seen a 10.3k crit, I've seen a 12k crit on my burst and I can rely on a 13k heal from my AoM. As for the 0 mana deal, true thats pretty cool, but I wouldn't trade with them.
This debate will rage forever, and there are some good points, there are a few things that SK's can do that I can't imagine doing on my paladin, but I don't want to be an SK. We do need a few upgrades, but lets keep it reasonable. A lvl 80 pally with maxxed out AA's of our healing will tank unaided significantly longer than the lvl 80 SK with maxxed leech curse.
About the only point I can really agree with is that their DPS is substantially higher than ours. And I don't want that nerfed at all, I just want ours brought up some. I don't even want to be on par with them, just higher than we are now. In my opinion, they should be higher DPS than us. As long as they can't heal like us I'm ok with it. But its out of whack right now.
