Irrelevant. You can cast a Whispering Dawn and a Succor at the same time if you need upfront healing. The throughput is the same for Whispering Dawn and Medica II. If you have an issue with Whispering Dawn being free-cast by your pet, then you need to petition about pet control being improved, not trying to compare Medica II and Succor.
The instance in which you need to aoe heal happens a lot more than every 60 seconds; stop being naive. Do Titan HM with just scholars and see how well the Tumults are handled.

A 15 duration proc that happens fairly often at the rate you use cure I can easily be used to absorb spike damage. It's just like a BLM holding on to Firestarter procs when he expects a burst phase.
