I disagree. I would say that when people keep bringing up a marginally useful item as some sort of bigtime class perk they need to have their noses rubbed in reality. Its greatest utility occurs when recovering from a wipe (rare in a competent group, even when attempting challenging content) or solo (and soloing a Paladin is at best silly and at worst evidence of crippling masochistic tendencies and/or severe brain injury.) The DW Helm is not important. It was important for a week or two on live when it had a fairly short cast time and people were using it to heal groups, whereupon it was quickly and effectively nerfed into the dirt.

Not sure why you are taking such issue with my contention that the DW helm is "no joke" (my exact words, note the lack of calling it a "big time class perk").
There are a lot of classes in the game that would pay millions of plat for an item that would allow them to heal 700 hp per minute for zero mana (consider the value of a pre-nerf Fungus staff). Paladins get it for 400 plat instead. It's not a class defining item or anything, but it's something that every Paladin should have and know when to use. I'd say it's similar in this regard to Rangers with Swarmcaller - not something to be used all the time, but very useful in certain situations.
On another note, we've definitely derailed the shit out of this thread. From Cleric duoing to now debating the merits of the DW helm.
