LOL..first time I've read a post that no one argued with. Tells you something about the class comparison, doesn't it?
I'm pretty sure coercer has the edge on power. Illy does fine though and has timelord which is the best utility ability ever.
When it comes to feeding their own groups, they're pretty well balanced, although I think coercers have it much more simple, courtesy to group mana flow. Coercers are the best at feeding other groups (i.e. raids), hands-down. A coercer that is attentive to power flows (which is a skill that became a lot more rare in the past few expansions) can keep 2 to 3 groups reasonably full of power.

Has any other chanter (coercer)noticed that a few of our power feeds are only feeding for 1 point? I noticed this last night while running t1+2's. It is mostly cannibalize thoughts, brain shock, channel, either balance, and the power proc from mind control. Breeze was almost 100% of my feeds in a power hungry fight. Did something get messed up when they tried to fix the % part of breeze's regen?
Few years ago coercers lost ability to Mana flow two groups at once. Targeting the other group you could feed your own on a return. Not anymore. Devs cut us off. We still indeed can Mana Flow the other group but we use other spells that replenish power for our own.
