Whether or not that needs to be via AoE damage.
For single target, it bugs me that Ruin II is basically useless outside of movement. Not sure a Healer really needs that sort of utility, more of a DPS thing, so a hangover from ACN.
Ruin 2 is also used to weave ogcd actions, so it's used quite a lot on SCH because it has so many of those. Anyway the problem is not aoe damage or even dungeon runs. The problem is single target damage.
