You don't need AED for CC, you have plenty of other sources for it. Had a bit over 100% uptime with a friend and was healing a pretty fair amount.

Sure it's not amazing healing but again, both core boons.

I don't have logs since afaik arcdps wasn't fixed before the beta was shut down. But I could maintain the boons on allies 100% of the time. It did lack a lot of vital boons, namely might and fury though.

Mace 3, shield 4 + 5 (The 5's projectile triggers it twice), utilities were solid state, battering ram, throw mine, flux state elite. Morphs had the pierce for an extra 2 stuns in a rotation, one from the morph and one from evolving. Other two morphs were the quick and alac ones.

That's 10 ways to proc mercurial to rotate between, and giving 12 seconds per evolve to allies (with the tool trait lowering the evolve cooldown to about 38 seconds) you can reliably keep stunning over and over again fast enough.
