But one thing you have to take into account, is that the logic you stated can be applied at almost any time during the games duration. As you stated battles have a flow. The thing is that flow isn't constant and hiccups happen. From a healer perspective SCH, is good when things are planned, or right place right time. Have an "Oh Shite" moment, and a SCH might not be too great. It comes down to burst vs extended again, which SCH excels at, through no fault of their own, it's just the nature of the encounters.
I'm just explaining why I think SCH is too strong compared to the other two healers and also why at this juncture it may be better to knock SCH down a few pegs versus knocking the other two healers up a few pegs, since you were asking for asking for reasons why some players may feel the job is OP.

I also disagree with your premise that:
  1. SCH shouldn't be healing in a raid setting - it has the best tools to deal with healing while not spending the precious commodity known as GCDs
  2. Deployment Tactics needs fixing - it's one of the best mitigation tool in the game and enables so much LB cheese in the process; if anything I'd say it needs a nerf

I guess we'll see what happens in 5.0 since I don't expect any serious reworks of any kits until then, but I am hoping SCH can be brought a little bit more inline with the others.
