WHM needs more instant heals

[Risvertasashi]

Well, that is your right to view them as such. I view them as instant, as they do have no cast time and, ya know, actually provide healing.

If we want to be a bit more precise:

No, they do not provide healing. They instantly provide a buff. This buff then provides healing, but may take as long as 3 seconds before it does.

Let's not kid ourselves. They're in no way comparable to assize, tetra, bene, lustrate, AB, etc.
