Default Heal Area: harmful to Minions???

Ok, I searched and couldn't find a discussion on this.

Lately I've been running an Orders necro thru the Tombs. I've toted along Heal Area and Blood Ritual to help out the MM between battles. The other night an MM said "Don't use Heal Area on my minions!", but wouldn't explain why.

Sooo, I started asking other MM's if they wanted me to Heal Area or not. All but one said sure, and one two of them explained that some folks believe that using monk healing on minions makes them die faster. I have no where been able to see proof of this, and many MM comments in these forums say that they personally use Heal Area themselves.

Comments?

Well I did notice a significant degen increase on minions life when I healed them with my boon prot monk so i'm guessing it's the same with all monk spells. Then again I might just be paranoid =o It kinda makes sense tho since all them undeads are holy spells haters

Thanks for the replies. The link posted above addresses the topic very adequately also. Wish I'd had more luck with my searchs!

The long and short of it is this: as minion's age, they degen more and more. Monk healing keeps them alive longer, and so they age more. So, people blame the monk healing for causing the degen which will happen anyway as they age.
