BH is fantastic for me so far, and a lot of fun. - I'm at level 28 so far. I heal a sith assassin tank friend with my BH merc, and he heals my BH tech with his sith sorc in our other combo. Although he admit's that the BH healing style is not his cup of tea, he is jealous of my efficiency. You can really supercharge yourself with gear; however. Utilize the orange moddable items - I have these for every "armor" slot except belt so far, as well as weapons. I'll run an instance a few times, and if a 2nd BP or legs or what have you drops, I'll need it, break the components out of them and feed them into my boots, gloves, bracer, etc. Also, I try to get a purple barrel off the market every few levels for both guns - makes a world of difference. And, I'll counter the idea of speccing for dps and still being able to heal with speccing for heals and still being able to dps - a lot. My healing is efficient enough that I usually dps more than heal so far. At 28, my rapid scan hits for right at 1k, crits for up to 1550ish. My "free" rapid shot heal heals for somewhere between 180-220 typically and is a lot of fun to have. After burning supercharged gas, Kolto Missle reduces damage taken by 10% and healing recieved by 5% for 15s. My quick heal has 100% chance to reduce the heat cost of my next main heal. And I feel I haven't hit the truly good talents yet. Also something I like; thanks to heavy armor, 6k hps, and energy shield, I can take quite the beating if need be without stressing. Up to Mandalorian Raiders so far, my friend and I have also "duo'd" all instances with Khem and Mako companions at standard levels (HS 16, Athiss 20, Mand 25). At any rate, kind of long winded. I love my BH healer and would recommend it highly.
