They decreased the cooldown not to get healers to dps but to lessen the punishment caused by the post-50 split of DoM gear into Casting and Healing. A minor but significant penalty of 20 main stat for 12s at level 32 when leveling became a major penalty of 221 at i90 when when DoM gear split in Healing and Casting post-50.
