I'm surprised you went 28 in sentinel to get serendipity but didn't invest a point in healing invocation? I personally do it to get that hot it could offer if specd as well as its big heal. A torch of light with tidal surge then a healing invoc is a good life saver especially if getting cc'd hard with minimal windows of time such as the case in the vid. They focused Brod a ton which is expected in a 3v3 especially with a healer like you. From what I saw deluge is about the only real big heal you have if the shyt hits the fan. However, deluge is very dependent on hots stacked in order to get its full effect. Healing invocation is a 3 sec casted heal and very dangerous to use, that's why in my personal build I only pop it when serendipity is up. Then it becomes a 1.5 sec casted heal, but if you aren't focused you might be able to get it off. If you do its very worth it as it is the biggest heal in all of our trees. If you use Tidal surge and you crit the bonus is pretty big. If the person isn't healing debuffed I've seen 4300+. Even if healing debuffed it's still pretty good, but if you did crit, it would proc another serendipity to toss another healing invoc. Essentially if you used the torch of light cooldown, in 1.5 sec you could dish out 7-9k heals. If healing debuffed around 4-5k heals if you crit in the first healing invoc. That's about 0-100 in the shortest amount of time. Since torch of light is a 45 sec cd every 45 sec you have a way to burst someone's health to full in a very short amount of time.
Still you are a great cleric but if you are going to go 28 in sentinel might as well put that one point in. I don't see how one point somewhere else would be more beneficial. Pretty cool match to watch though, I definitely enjoyed the vid. It's interesting you have hotkeys on insert home, delete etc..
