Break the meta! Dps Healer warrior build!

[StraightPath.3972]

INTRO

Staff landed and Warrior healer is now real, very real.
But as impactful it's skills may be, it's hard to compete with crazy utility of meta healers.
But where one door slams shut, another opens..

DPS HEALING!

Instead of  trying to be the inferior firebrand, embrace your own unique warrior advantage and go the dps healer route!
Most healers cannot separate healing from boonshare if they tried and as result are not allowed to have good dps.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg known as  "making healing + dps work". Simply put - mission impossible for most.
But not the warrior. We can discard the boonshare in favour of high dps, while keeping the green numbers big and juicy.

As for "But who'll provide boons then?" question - boon dps builds are a thing for quite some time.
Let that boon dps herald/firebrand/scrapper/druid/chrono/specter etc handle the job. They'll be happy to be of use,
and you'll be happy doing real damage next to real healing!

THE BUILD

Here's your  dps healer Zerker.

Couple key features of this build:

• if it wasn't made obvious till now - we don't care about boonshare here, not our job. We do big dps and heals.
• your weapon swap is on 2.5s cd giving you fast access to staff for healing and fast return to dps weapon set.
• your adrenaline generation is strong with Signet of Fury, Headbutt, anything axe (Axe Mastery), weapon swapping and Staff.
• Discipline is very customizable in terms of healing/damage balance with great traits for both.
• Mending (healing skill) gives you 10% dps boost for 6s. Try to use it when in dps weapon set.
• Singet of Fury passive is needed to ensure 100% crit chance when zerk mode drops. So time your active casts accordingly.
• Next patch cuts Endure Pain's cooldown to 30s. I've slotted it with that in mind. A healer needs to stay alive, right?
• for easy staff primal burst - swap to staff then use Valiant Leap for fast 10 adrenaline.

I hate to break it to you but staff does no sustained DPS. 

Also your build dropped the quickness trait so it's like absolutely useless as a PVE healer. 

Also also the problem with Warrior healer is being unable to serve the MANY flexible roles thrown to the healer to do, eg many kiting or pushing roles on many of the fights. Because the Warrior toolkit is absolutely garbage and people in this very forum STILL ask for the remaining varied toolkit skills we DO have to be turned into knockdowns or something.

Yeah, but with FH and Relic of the Warrior you can swap into Staff, drop heals, and then go back to Axe/Axe for Decapitate spam or whatever one is running for DPS in all of 2.5s.

This is a dps healer build that discards boonshare for dps, hence "dps healer" role.
The build is made with assumption boonshare is already performed by another, such as diviner herald or scrapper.

Edited the top post to be more.. terse, along with clear instruction for the build.
