How DPS complexity can make healers more forgiving

[Shurrikhan]

Finally, a healer design that would be good at Deep Dungeon solo runs, instead of being a fight against the timer due to low damage output

Aye, but even in that approach, you'd likely see at least some 10% each of the ppm from the non-fillers go to the filler instead in order to level it out (i.e., to not deal almost a tenth of its potency per minute in a single GCD of Shadowflare).

Though, if not for that ultimate fight against the timer, wouldn't WHM be similarly "bursty" already, between Assize and Misery? Which would still be the bottleneck here that SCH faces, even if it manages to frontload its ppm enough to further spare a few healing GCDs per minute, as SCH's ppm would still be just as low as ever.
