The difference is pocket characters are specifically on shared accounts. Shared accounts are more prone to getting messed with, like having all of your items deleted. Reimbursements can take a while these days. You also do not want someone masquerading as your main character, saying silly things.
You level the main characters to 60 that work best at 60, and don't share their account information. This group doesn't need Cleric heals to level to 60. You make pocket characters for the other classes. You let people know they are pocket characters, so people do not assume you are the one controlling the character if they are acting odd, and you lose less if the account is messed with.
It's less of a loss to lose a 49 pocket cleric than a 60 Torpor Shaman.

No danger here. Only one person has the password to the cleric while they're all leveling. If in the low 50s the group decides they'd prefer a shaman, you've said it's easy to powerlevel someone up to the 50s. If so, that same person creates a new account for the shaman, transfers over any decent gear, then shares the cleric account password with their three buddies. No one else ever knows the shaman account password, so it can't be lost.
During the leveling process the cleric will be a better healer.
