I completely agree with that statement.
I actually started the game as a WHM main before HW came out, and honestly it felt like the spells didn't "flow" very well. I found it felt pretty slow and awkward.
As a healer main (in most games) who doesn't really like to micro-manage pets, it was probably one of the bigger reasons why I took a break for almost a year.
Switching to AST completely changed my perspective on the game and healing in general once I came back.

Here's hoping the next healer will be just as fun (:
