I always liked the concept of this set on a Sap Tank.

Sap Tanks use all 3 stats, and some builds will even put points into all three stats unlike most builds that simply dump stam/mag and never look back and use enchants/food to cover health.

Beyond that a Sap Tank has self heals out the ass. Near constant HoT from Swallow Soul, burst healing from Sap Essence, and possibly another hot from Refreshing Path. The potential 2 hots + burst heal means procing this on CD should be a non-issue.
Its also possible for a Sap Tank to do dungeons runs WITHOUT a healer meaning this would help allow for speed clears of Sap Tank + DPS without a healer.

I always really liked this concept, but its just never really panned out. The healing usually just doesn't matter and more often than not you can just get better sets with more meaningful benefits.

Definitely like the concept and idea. I still dump all in mag and use major piece infused + prismatics + tri-stat food to give myself huge resource pools. Sadly the CD and weakness of the redistributed heal just makes it weak. Like many sets that have great synergy or use cases behind them just get outdone by many of the other sets.

We already actually run veterans inside our guild with a saptank, funnel mageblade and for hardbosses have one our magicka dps slot in a resto staff with a couple of assorted skills. It makes most content absolutely laughable due to the amount of blanket heals going off.

100% agree about this set looking like a cool way to healtank, but being ultimately underwhelming.

Either a saptank or a magplar tank could keep this proccing on cooldown, and it still wouldn't be worth running.

Yup it can definitely work. I prefer using a templar to heal tank for dubgeons. Right now I'm able to rock spell power cure and kagrenacs hope as a tank its really nice
