Actually it really isn't.

When there was a huge healer debate on the forums here, I made a habit of recording and uploading pretty much every roulette I did. The old Cleric Stance made it especially easy to work out healing vs DPS uptime and I can confirm that even on particularly rough runs, I never saw my CS uptime drop below 80%, with 85-90% being attainable with a decent group. My active rate averaged around 90% which is still the case today and I feel that very little has changed on this front. Bosses can still almost entirely be healed with regen and oGCDS. I'll willingly admit that I throw a few cure IIs here and there during trash pulls but I've found my best results working those lilies leading into Assize where possible.

Amusingly I did a 2 WHM run on Skalla the other day, on the super large pull leading to The Old One (second boss), over the ~50 seconds it took us to kill that we did: 4 regens, 2 cures, 2 tetras, 2 assizes, oh and 4 Aero IIIs and 17 Holys. That's on arguably the largest most annoying trash pull going in current content.
