Because it's the most efficient use of those CDs. The whole purpose of AoE HoT's is to top a party off after heavy raid wide-damage the quickest and cheapest means possible while continuing to focus the tank. While Rouse, Fey Illumination and Whispering Dawn is pretty overkill the HoT is so potent that your fellow WHM can completely forgo using Medica/2 or Cure 3 after heavy party damage which in turn conserves their MP pool at the cost of a relatively short 2min CD (compared to their 3min SoS). Like, if you're using FI to simply boost overall heals by 20% it's all gonna go to waste over-healing the tank, which for a 2min CD is fairly pointless. In that situation you're better off dropping Sacred Soil and Virus/Eye for an Eye to reduce overall damage.
