If you feel bad about using a GCD heal when it is necessary to ensure survival, then you shouldn't be playing a healer.

If you're unwilling or unable to grapple with the question of whether a GCD heal is necessary, then you also shouldn't be playing a healer.

That basic question -- should I cast this heal now instead of dealing damage? -- is the only thing that makes healing interesting in the current combat design. There's no need to dumb it down by trivializing the question.
