We don't give a flying fuck about optimized play. We want engaging play, we want enjoyable play, we want variety to not be bored out of our minds. Most play is NOT optimal. It is improvisation, it is using what works best at that particular instant and that is *gasp* NOT ALWAYS MORE DAMAGE.

Optimal. Does. Not. Matter. Non-janky does.
Well unfortunately, I'm in the camp of optimized = interesting play. The fact that AST is currently the most interesting of the healers to optimize my play on is a huge factor of why I love it so much now.
