Go see monchat's numbers. WHM ends up curing for 20~30 more then RDM with Cure V.
And ALL people care about is your ability to spam cure's and -na's, that's it. Cureskin was a good idea from SE but they capped it way too low and didn't raise it after the level increases. XP loss is a joke now, so no need for R3. And ... that's it, there is nothing else in WHM's toolbag for healing other then ... lol Cure VI (go ask them what they think about that). Curaga III+ ~sounds~ nice on paper, until you realize that hitting an entire group of people with that is ridiculously hard unless your in a pure melee party, and even then the hate generated from that is enough to get you killed the moment the NM does it's hate reset move on the tank. You'll be riding at capped CE and they won't be able to create hate fast enough before the NM makes a bee line towards the WHM. As a RDM even in RDM/SCH support mode I've frequently been the target of the mega boss's anger after it hate stripped our tanks, the cause was the Cure IV spams I do to support out WHMs.
But please tell me how awesome Auspice is, or Esuna, during big boss fights (what we're discussing here).
