There actually was a particular case just recently while tanking in E9 after the MT died and got R+B, but I was at or below half HP for the next minute before he and the healers all got cleaved in the tile phase, leaving me about 1-2 auto's from death. Cloud eventually died a minute later right after I did with three DPS left standing.

I'd say it's almost as bad a habit as the double raises. Wasting it and needing it in the next two minutes is worse than not using it. The WHM pretty much used a single Rapture and no Solaces too, so swap that non-usage with Benediction and it's no longer a nailbiter. Even excluding that, there are other ways to heal an OT WAR with 30+ seconds of downtime.
