That's what makes WHM the beginner/prog-friendly healer imo. It'd be way more fun to use if it lasted much longer and had a button to manually use its stacks, not to mention actually making it useful for mob pulls in dungeons.
I believe their intention wasn't to be an AST-like ability as it only reacts to damage done to the healer, making it reactive-only.

But it's just a bad Earthly Star–triple the CD and no way to control it.

It's really like they sat there and looked at both Macrocosmos and Lilybell and said that "that's balanced right?"

I love Macrocosmos but I think they dropped the ball on Lilybell and only added more clunkiness to WHM. They added an ability that goes 100% usage during a very specific mechanic and is not used in every fight and locking it behind a 3min CD? Lmao.

The dev team is really scared to do anything with WHM and the more people say that they like WHM how it is will only continue this vicious cycle of people complaining about other healers being too OP and that instead of asking for buffs for WHM, they want every healer to be brought to WHM's level. Then the devs see that SCH and AST were nearly unplayable in 5.0 and buffed them to high hell and leave WHM to rot because who would have guessed? WHM's design is terrible and has always been.

Instead of pushing the devs more when they gave us the lily system for improvement and development on it, people just sat there in silence because finally WHM has become playable and on par–only at the cost of destroying AST and SCH's creative designs.

In the end, the devs don't want to fix WHM and mid-expansion fixes for healers is rare and certain not to the extent of DPS jobs reworks.
