Yes but you are assuming a condition where the two healers are already in a very wel equiped static group. The road to that point is long, full of roulettes and PF's, not to mention "low time/entry level static groups", where the members really arent going to go that indept into a wall of text. They look at two things (in my experience)
Your DPS, and your overhealing... two extremely unfair measurements since WHM are "supposed" to cast assize the second it comes off CD (resulting in a TON of overhealing) and since its very convenient to use A.Rapture (to heal even 2 members of your party since its an instant cast and charges the blood lily (again, resulting in overhealing a lot)

tdb is actually spot on... healing in PFs and, even some static groups feels a lot like prisoners dilemma to me at the moment.
