I could stopcast the Stone II and start casting a Cure II on the tank, getting the healing spell to the tank around two seconds faster.
You're using the wrong comparison, though. Healers switch from one priority to another: From maiming to mending. In case of Bards and Machinists, they don't switch at all. They just create an unnecessary pause between their attacks to cancel their attack in favor for another.

Have you read my previous post about this?
