About furious inspiration. The more you hit people, or people in your group get hit, the more it stacks, up to 10. When you pop a banner or a formation, the more stacks you have, the more powerful the buffs are. For some of those buffs, it does not scale very well, but for others, it does scale a lot.
For the self heal, if you wait to have 10 stacks of furious inspiration and you trigger the formation, you'll get an initial heal of 1400 HP i think, and the self heal will keep ticking for around 150 hp/sec, during 20 seconds maybe.
I don't have the precise figures in mind, but that heal is just completely OP and counts toward your overall survival in a decisive fashion.
About combos, i for one would never use a 3 steps combo in PvP, 2 steps maximum.
Use several ranks of feint attack, not just the highest one.
HoFS, you don't need several ranks of this, since if you're brute you can have 0 sec cooldown on the combo, so just pick the highest 2 steps one.
