That's not entirely true, you can still spend the majority of many fights in Cleric as a WHM, especially because you have so many HoTs - that is, if you know the fights well enough. I've stopped counting the situations where you can just throw a Medica II on the group after raidwide damage happens, and immediately switch back into Cleric because there's enough time for MII to top off the group until the next mechanic happens that requires your attention as a healer. There's also a lot of situations where you can get away with turning on Cleric Stance for 2-3 casts in between two mechanics, though this often requires extremely good timing. Optimizing fights like this is part of why healing in general and WHM specifically is so much fun for me in this game.
