This is beyond foolish.

Consider the potency that can be done in one PLD GCD against the potency than can be done in whatever Healer GCDs that Clemency affords. Barring counter-synergy with Bulwark, you'd be hard pressed for Clemency not to be worthwhile in any 3+ mobs AoE pull, especially when the alternative would have only been to waste Blind DRs for the same enmity without any healing.

In single-target, during Clemency, with a 2.42 GCD or less, it fills basically the same function that Shield Swipe did before becoming an ability; it keeps you from wasting a tick of Riot Blade. During Convalescence, especially, with a HoT already placed at the start and to be placed at the tail, this becomes more than just viable. The loss is less than 200 potency, and if it allows a single extra Malefic II or Stone III, is quickly balanced out. You'd be hard pressed for a heal of 10k+ not to be worth that. And unless the Paladin needs to save someone with it later, the mana cost is insignificant.

Tldr; if the healer can AoE and it's not interrupting the PLD rotations, it's neutral at worst.
