It is PvE where Confiteor and Blade of Valor combo do healing to the Paladin directly. In PvP this is revised as a utility benefitting your whole party but requires additional attacks.

Upside, oGCDs (Abilities) like Shieldbash and Intervene count for the 2000 HP heal and an AOE counts for each Sacred Claim target hit, so a Warrior or Dancer with their spin dance gets a lot of value from it. It also stacks on top of your Atonement heals.

The Atonement heal probably was made like PvE attack spells healing due to frequency of them but still being melee range
