I admit I should have clarified a bit more when I said that, much like Sacred Prism > Stoneskin it would be situational. One viable situation might be if you were fighting Ifrit and the DD's in your group were forced to move in to avoid his Plume attack but eat one or two sears in the process, or Garuda hits everyone near her with Wicked Wheel, throwing out a Sacred Prism > Cure could help top them back off giving you a little hate boost as well (depending on the number of DD's of course).

I would like to also add, Regen has cut down on the number of times such a strategy becomes viable, but is still an available tool in your arsenal to be considered.
