Phoenix heal is far more useful than vercure will ever be.
You are really overreacting and the only ridiculous take is yours, no offense.

Vercure can be used in emergencies and the fact that is available at any time is what makes it powerful. Everyone knows it's on the GCD and that it should be avoided as much as possible, which is why the example was "healers are dead and you have to keep people alive while raising".

RDM can do that, SMN can't (on demand). SMN has strong heals you cannot control which leads to a) heals being wasted because no healing is needed or b) heals being redundant because a healer is already taking care of the raidwide anyway.

Vercure is niche, but helpful, powerful and reliable when you actually end up needing it. It's not that hard.
