Not entirely true...

Again, not entirely true...

And here's why: You both fail to even look at the possibilities of the tank and his/her gear in question, before assuming the healer is not doing something right. I've been in this situation when I cast SC and shadowflare and before my heal could hit the tank he was dead.

Also regarding Holy, even with Swiftcast, start up on this power lags and by then the tank and healer can take quite a lot of damage before the stun takes effect. Not saying it's impossible, but it's more situational, than it is as black & white as the two of you put it...
