The issue isn't "optimizing" in the way you're suggesting when the difference is between a simpler procedure that has very significant value and a more complex procedure that has virtually no value. In the later case, if with an WHM, you might as well just stand there, and when stunning dodgeable AoEs you're actually costing yourself mitigation.

This is me suggesting not to shoot yourself just because it's an option available to you: "Look at what my toolkit can do! Aren't I quirky and innovative?"
We were given tools but not meant to use them. Something is wrong here and we're basically the only job left in the game that still has this problem.

Okay maybe not but I can't think of any other class that gets you yelled at for actually using parts of their kit. Well maybe WHM and the actual Cure spells.
