If so why and who... Feel free to say why and the strategies behind it...(you don't have to obviously)

I assume you're talking about arena though, so yes, I use Daka primarily because of her great stun and the revives are also very helpful. It adds another very dangerous character to my squad, leaving the opponent to decide who to take out first (Daka, rey, or QGJ). I get rank 1 everyday, so I don't see why I should change anything.
True but there are characters that can revive and heal...
And there a characters with healing properties that also excel in other areas lumi has fairly nice attack, dodge potential and pretty strong special that can inflict ability block on top...
I mainly asking this question in order to discern whether or not protection has made healing obsolete or not as viable....
Even though I still see a lot of teams using 1 or 2 healers I know it's becoming less popular....
Maybe something like heal over time could be implemented?
And how do u deal with debuffers try to take him out before activating Hans taunt?
not really got any other good toons at the moment anyway.
I started out with an arena team of Phasma (lead), RG, GS, Rey and Daka, but recently switched out Daka for ST Han simply because I hate fighting the RG/STH combo. However, I feel like my team could greatly benefit from having Daka back. Mostly to heal while the two tanks are taunting. The only option would be to switch out Phasma (because I feel like I need two heavy damage dealers), but who would I put into lead then? ST Han?
Dooku isn't much better at defense, but I find he has better utility in PVP since most squads run at least one Jedi, and his attacks are generally, well, better. I still fall places overnight, but not quite as quickly. He's also the only other toon I have completely trained up AND geared/starred as much as possible.
Yeah. I have found her healing to be useful for Rey too, as it provides a buff, which Rey can then use to get Offense Up with her special attack, rather than foresight.
I'd say right off the bat most of the people in here are LIARS. Lumi is a Tier 1 arena team.
The order is Dooku, QGJ, then Lumi, so apparently most top tier players have Lumi on their Arena team, so to answer your question Lumi is on the majority of teams..whether or not you USE healing is another matter, but they HAVE a "healer" on their team..
Lumi is still awesome and given that you can reduce her special cool downs by 1 that makes her even better..
READ Lumi details it *IS* a heal over time, you get 40% immediate and something like 20% over the next 2 rounds...
Hmm.. Ur right... I was thinking it was just her leader ability..
Lumi is one of my best assists. One of the highest damage on basic. She's the opposite of Barisse. You hope your assist attack pulls Lumi.
Lumi's ability block is occasionally clutch, too.
Lumi heal is great on Han.
The continuous heal is great when you have to finish off a 5's, and you have 3 toons left but no stunner.
+1 Daka good for Arena, too. Obviously.
