Lustrate, as you noted, will heal 2,250 on the highest HP. On a Paladin, this will be around 1550-1800. Lustrate cannot crit.
Cure III, however, will heal 1400 HP on average. For crit, this will be more to over 2,100. This is also an AOE. If it procs off Cure II, you can get a crit AND for less MP, but we won't go too far with that.

Lustrate will heal, over 60s, 2,250 HP at the best. You get 3 every 60s. This will be 37.5 health per second.
Cure III will heal, with a 2s cast time and 2.5s GCD, 1,400 on Average. It costs 399 which means you can use approximately 12 Cure III, 4.5s around 60s. This means you will heal 280 health per second.

If you proc Cure II on Cure III, you can get 2.1k every cast, 2.1k x 12 = 25200 on one target. That divided by 60s for the minute puts this 420 health per second.

So, tell me again, which is better for a healer?
