Hello, I am currently a level 68 scholar (I started playing a few weeks ago) going through the MSQ and for the most part I have been having a great time. In order to get to level 69, I have been spamming Doma Castle, and have run into a bit of trouble. The tanks during this dungeon have been doing a pull that takes all of the mobs from the big armor guy to the trio before the first boss. What has happened all but one time follows:
I usually use whispering dawn in there somewhere before dissipate, though I did forget a few times. The everyone dies step usually comes after I have run out of aetherflow stacks and all the mobs are still alive, but sometimes before if I was stupid enough to try using art of war instead of physick and I run out of aetherflow stacks really fast because the tank is taking so much damage. My main question here is whether I am missing something, should I be able to heal through all this damage at my level/ ilevel? I have full doma castle gear at this point, but when I first got to the dungeon people were dying even faster. Sometimes this is not a problem, the tank just doesnt do as big a pull and we move on. Other times I have been flamed and asked if I knew what I was doing (and if I was even using heal skills?) and this has been fairly discouraging and made me seriously consider whether or not I should keep playing as a healer, even though I enjoyed it immensely up until Stormblood. I figure that this sort of trend will continue into Shadowbringers, I have no delusions there.
Additionally, I wanted to ask why it is so much harder to heal through these adds than it is to heal through the boss because that is what initially caught me really off guard. In earlier dungeons I never really had any problems, but I usually had to do a lot more healing during the bosses than I did during the adds between bosses. But during these Stormblood dungeons I frantically try to keep the tank alive during the adds and then the bosses are all snoozefests where I spam broil and occasionally excog the tank or succor the dps. It just seems backwards, Idk.
Sorry for the somewhat stream of consciousness, I have just been really caught off guard by these newer dungeons and was hoping a few more veteran healers/ tanks had some advice for me.

- I put down sacred soil
- I use excogitation on the tank
- I spam physick a bit then lustrate after the excog goes off
- I use dissipate and continue to lustrate
- Everyone dies
