    Besides oGCDs, as WHM, I can cast cure, and follow up with a "dual cast" Regen right after, in hopes of a tick, before I can heal again, or to help land an oGCD.
    I can also Cast Stone, and "dual cast" Aero" right after.
    That doesnt automatically make WHM unfair, and able to land more cures/DPS solely because regen and aero are instant casts.
    The only factor they help with, is movement heavy scenarios.

    If a boss landed a tank buster, you only need to get the tank up enough to survive weak auto attacks.
    Most healers tend to use oGCD burst heals because they are instant, not because the tank needs to be max HP.
    But practicing the timming, to know when to land the cure after the cast bars, will do just as well. (As most savage groups do, when they have already blown their oGCD heals, to maintain DPSing. or are saving them for movement heavy moments.)

    The only time a tank gets low, and you want to burst as much healing as possible, is when a tank isnt using CDs, is undergeared, and is trying to pull 2+ groups of mobs, reaching 5+ mobs.
    (The auto attacks from mob groups hit harder than bosses do, and if the tank isnt over geared, or using CDs, tend to even do more dmg than tank busters.)
