Use it if you want to use it. If the Pld self self heals, the healer can just do more DPS, no?

I don’t know the numbers for peak performance, surely someone does know who puts out more dps between the two...but outside of that endgame situation, who cares?

Moreover, if you decide not to heal and the healer screws up and the party wipes, wouldn’t that be a bigger waste of time than the 3 seconds of lost dps?

Use it! Get comfortable using it! And in certain situations, understand you don’t even need a dedicated healer.
