Atonement's about flexibility in how you heal. Keeping Holy Fire on CD provides a decent, cheap heal and smart-hot, and helps maintain the Evangelism buff for popping AA during a heavy damage ability, as the post described. It's usually possible to do this during most fights, even if there's a lot of healing to be done.

Smite is a filler spell, the Atonement equivalent of Heal. It's viable to use in fights with periods of low healing - although it also does well in fights where there's a buff or debuff that increases damage done to a target. If you can be casting Heal, you can be casting Smite. If Heal isn't strong enough to heal, then you probably shouldn't be casting Smite.
