Well, being a smart spell, it serves no purpose for a crit. This doesn't work like the druid spell, because theirs still does a flat healing amount based on the tier of HP their target is at. Yes, they have a 1 second cast time, but they have a 3 min reuse. My GF finds it rather unusable in its current form.
Because ours heals only up to a certain amount, but only takes the mana to match it, it doesn't crit. Quite frankly, I'm ok with that as I'd rather have the intelligence of it over the ability to do even more healing. It doesn't replace our group spells, I have this up with at least one actual group heal, 2 if I have to protect my group from raid AE's.
As for the cast time, its on par with out other group heals, but in the right situation is FAR more effective. The biggest advantage we have with this spell is we can spam it, unlike any of our group heals or even our quick heals. If they followed the other classes examples and made this unusable for so long after each cast, it would lose its place on my spell bar.
Look for ways of making this spell effective, and you will find yourself loving it. If you just want another big group heal, this isn't the spell for you.
