Something interesting we did last night on the warden board, actually 2-3 of us did the math all at once, it was kinda funny, everyone was just bored it seems and someone requested a mathematical comparison, so we all went and got a calculator it seemed LOL.

Furies actually heal (single target-wise) for about 33% less than Templars and Wardens *without the ancient spells* throughout the course of a minute (if you asume for most general purposes reactive = regen throughout the course which wouldn't be too far off the mark and just assume it a constant for wardens our regens are actually equal).  The math is posted and we came up with the same results... not sure why we never really did it as it's easier to try and compare and add them up than dps is.

 Only upon reaching 52 can furies begin to close the gap... with a situational heal on the third timer...which is harder to quantify, as you're not going to cast it when the tank isn't orange or red if you can avoid it (power cost prohibitive and would be considered a waste) and you may not always land it when the tank is in the orange (you go to click... regen ticks... you click... it's casting... before casting ends, regen ticks and hp went above 50%... BITF lands and you say "GRRRRR!!!!"  as you healed for half potential SMILEY and with only a 280 hp buff the orange range is smaller).  If you assume you cast BITF 4x in the course of the minute (about 66% of the time that it's up) and assume it lands 2x in good range 2x in bad range, furies are about 11% behind in healing (this would also be equal to casting 3x and all 3 landing in good range).  One more cast and then it'd be approximately equal I suppose.
 
Edit: my bad, I got to remembering BITF is same timer as elixir... 4 casts is 66% of the time it's up.
