You're distorting the number a bit in your favor comparing a Master to an Adept 3 but I think the point was the person being healed has to get hit that much for the reactive heals to trigger.  That only happens in extreme cases such as fast hitting raid MoBs.  So the vast majority of the time the HoT is a better healing tool against a single target.  /shrug I don't have a problem with either of those myself.  Both heals have their place and I think it's a bit silly to argue which is better overall when comparing our core healing.  IMO that is one thing SOE got about right  assuming their premise all healers are to be about the same with respect to their core healing abilties. As you all know I take issue with lotto utility heals we get and additional direct heals some classes get as ancient scrolls -- that destroys the balance supposedly introduced by LU13.  DPS in a 30 second fight is also a big problem (sadly) if we are all to be equal healers then we all need equal secondary and tertiary abilities.  No logical person can deny that. But debating which class has better core healing... go for it I guess.  But I think everyone agrees it's situational and nearly equal.
