You don't need to have played the 4.0 client to express legitimate concerns based on the information available thus far. The Lily system alone should have everyone, including SE, scratching their heads.
To take this one step further, we have no reason to believe that 4.0 WHM is designed such that it would be better at handling this than any other healer. I do not believe that SE would think that would be a good idea either.
