To me is not even that the healers don't need the help (in a common scenario), but that the action is probably not available when they actually need the help: i.e. random groups taking too much avoidable damage, other healer dead or d/c, both healers down and still rezzing.

Alas it's a plague with Radiant Aegis as well. I'm never able to actually use the shield as an emergency resource when I mess up because there's a Demi or a primal out at that time.

DPS heal actions, movement, personal mitigators... they are all situational actions, and it's pointless when they are not available for use in those circumstances due to imposed unavailabilities.
