I agree that adding this as a legacy perk would be a good way to do it.

Instead of a shuttle picking us up, please let my worthless droid fly my ship to my location and pick me up so I don't have to go through orbital stations and airlocks.

Like I said and others repeated, I was curious about endgame, not leveling. But yeah, once again, I agree. But like I also said, I prefer to level with a build that I'm using at endgame to get used to it.

I found that when leveling I consistently finished fights with more health when I ignored the proc and just used Thrash and Shock, even when fighting golds. It doesn't matter much to me for leveling though; I'm sure Darkness/Madness would have been a better leveling spec, but I prefer to level with something close to what I use at end game to get used to it. I can see how in longer fights those heals add up, and it's not so important that I do good dps when in a group. If I had to level again, I'd just have kept it, and not used it except for the longer fights. There really aren't any great choices for those points in the tree anyway. I really do like using Force Lightning now and then. I want to like this talent, just wish it healed for a bit more.

I will respec to get it again and try it out some more. It seemed like it was hard to manage when I was leveling and didn't heal for much. Thanks.

Is it good for tanking in operations? hardmode flashpoints? Or is it just unnecessary and a waste of points? Is the healing and the ranged attack useful at endgame?

This would be a great feature to roll out quickly to ease the launch pains during prime time. I was just getting ready to jump into an instance with my buddies and my cable modem fluttered, causing me to lose my connection for about a minute, putting me at 694 in the queue on Shadow Hand. I really don't mind waiting in a queue, once.
