So... why do healers even have hardcasts then?
Do you feel like hardcasts are something we could / should move away from design wise?
I'd argue they exist for healers that aren't playing at the highest skill level, groups that don't have the best coordination, pugs and for the time during prog where you haven't optimised a fight yet. GCD heals are basically for "when something went wrong and you don't have oGCDs to deal with it" or simply during phases where you don't lose anything by hardcasting because you can't deal damage anyway.



They certainly have their place in general gameplay.
