No, actually. They weren't doing their job by not popping cooldowns. So while you can try patching up their mistake, the fault would still be theirs as you wouldn't have been in such a scenario if they knew the basics of tanking. Dusk Vigil is level 51. There is no excuse to not know how cooldowns work by that point.

Nevertheless, Cure I wasn't didn't come in as much clutch as you're giving it credit. Benediction and Cure II spam would have been more efficient due to the massive difference in potency. Three casts of Cure I will have only saved you .5 seconds compared to two casts of Cure II while healing for less (1,500 vs. 1,600), and costing 200 more MP to boot. In otherwards, it accomplished nothing. None of this is to criticize you but rather highlight just how useless Cure I is. The only very minute niche it has would be if someone would die within the .5 seconds between casting it over any other heal. Those scenarios are so seldom it isn't worth the hotbar space.
