Healing sets may have bonuses which are irrelevant for DPS spec(s) tho (anything with "...on healing"), so keep that in mind. Speaking of set bonuses - WP/INT and healing/magic power are converted by Harbinger too.

In respect to AOE - zeal may dish out some truly nasty AOE damage, on par with dps-dps classes out there, however unlike magus - zeal needs to be closer to enemies to achieve that, which is much riskier thus zeal would need a guard, but people in general arent yet accustomed to the fact that a zeal may be an effective DPS-er, thus a zeal would unlikely be guarded & focus-healed so...expect to die a lot in pugs.
