It's not a discussion when you use a question to avoid your own flaw part in your argument about how "expensive" SS's cost is.

But leaving that aside, let me answer what you bring up this time, SS & CU is not just about HOT heals, they also serve the function of 10% dmg reduction. When dealing a period of constant severe damages, CU's 10% reduction is not applicable at all since AST cannot afford the cost of channeling it, while SS can simple do both (mitigation and hot heal) and more.
