    Heals =/= Combat. Healing doesn't necessitate a continuous spam of a gcd therefore a gcd delay overtime won't be a loss as it would with dps.

    For most cases this is true, because macros do not use the ability queue system, and will thus slightly decrease the amount of skill uses per minute.

    However, with healing you will practically never be in a situation where it's absolutely critical to have no delay at all between heals, so this isn't as big of an issue with healing abilities.

    Healers (especially Scholars) also have to do a lot of target swapping: they need to DPS the enemies, heal the tank, and spot heal any group damage that happens. Mouseover macros let you deal with this multitasking very rapidly, and make it much easier to eg. cast Physick on the tank while simultaneously telling your fairy to heal DPSers who have taken damage.
