This is actually the lowest bar to set for a healer, so I get a strong feeling that you're having trouble thinking for yourself in this regard, and subscribe yourself to the conformity of the meta healer. The moment a player dies when you are in mid-cast of an offensive spell, you basically failed to fulfill your role. And in terms of optimization, go ahead and take into account the amount of DPS lost each second it takes to get that player back up, along with their reduced damage due to weakness. Even if that player is using a drinking bird, this amount quickly exceeds that oh so important GCD you allocated towards your own damage, or the damage of the healer your giving your comm to for doing what a monkey can do.
