Mend was a 6 minute timer. UIs were specifically made to count the timer on mend. If you could simply zone to refresh it a monk would be at every zone with a train of mobs, soloing. If by "on live" you are referring to classic, I have no knowledge of it as I missed out, but if testing was done with more recent servers then this is most definitely wrong.
If a mechanic or timer is hard coded into the client, then matching how the client is coded is sometimes best. Especially when it causes desyncs between the server and the client. It is not like mend is terribly overpowered in the first place. How was it in classic? I don't know. But I have no indication that is not how it was. Monks bitched about nerfs louder than any class. I never remember then complaining about a mend nerf.
