As I've previously said, before ShB, I basically never needed to use Synastry, and Lightspeed was used purely for Gravity spam.
Now I actually need to use my full toolkit, and it feels good.
Isn't this more a symptom of just being a bit undertuned or in a below average party than anything else?

When spamming Revel to level up (was spending rested exp on DPS jobs), I needed scarcely a GCD or two of healing per wall-to-wall pull after pre-pull Regen. That your Lightspeed is now better spent healing is more a matter of just your party dps (yours included) being too low to kill mobs before all CDs are depleted. Newly "needing to use [your] full toolkit" is by no means a wide and wholly intentionally or paradigmatic change -- it's just a result of numeric breakpoints.

In some ways, I wish I could have that healer-toolkit stuff you're talking about, but as a WHM nothing has changed since SB (save perhaps getting a little bit easier to keep the party alive with even fewer globals of healing), so I suspect my job may be slightly overtuned and/or yours undertuned (or your parties somehow consistently worse) and had yours the efficacy of mine, Lightspeed would still be Gravity-buff and Synastry would still just be a global-saver.
