You are right, there is no strict damage rotation for healers but the dots can be easier to maintain if you associate the 're application' period with skills that have a similar cooldown.

AST's Draw recast time lines up with Combust II/III.
WHM's Dia lines up with a Lily being accumulated as well as Divine Benison's(I think?) recast time.
SCH is a bit of a special case in this regard with how players utilize their Aetherflow & Dissipation stacks.

I would guess that a 'healing encounter timeline' is a more prominent thought to healers initially... at least in a raid setting similar to how tanks can map out their cooldowns throughout fights to deal with busters and tank swaps etc, but try to make do with what they can when mishaps occur.
