It is made on GCD so that people won't use it on CD which is the case with Assize. It does the same amount of damage as Dosis III so instead of just giving Sage another AoE oGCD heal with damage reduction, the devs got creative and turned it into an offensive spell that people would benefit from casting only when they actually need it.
