Possible as well, can't really say myself. I jumped ship even though warrior was my first 50 at launch and leveled pld with only having ever did hard mode primals as a warrior. I love playing warrior but fully realize I take far less damage as a pld from my own experience. But I would not say I have enough experience at it to judge his skill.

Your example on a single hit does theoretically say that things are basically close on a single hit. The difference comes in when you start thinking about it in terms of multiple hits. Every single hit and heal rotation he is 2% further behind. 1st 2%, 2nd 4%, etc.. Where eventually it becomes an issue is that the healer needs to cast many extra heals for the warrior over the course of a long fight like a raid boss. Throw in pld's cooldowns and the pld needs 20-70-100% less healing for significant periods throughout the fight. It is not nearly as simple as comparing it on a base level as that.
