Your comment is a rather good read, but for brevity's sake let's pare it down a bit to the simple fact that healing in Cataclysm is now "Bring the Cooldown, not the player."

I can understand that things like Tranquility, while nice, aren't ideal raid cooldowns because they reactive instead of proactive, and prevention is generally the best kind of medicine.

So, the issue being defensive cooldowns altogether, they should either be removed, nerfed to the point of being only a minor convenience, or given exclusively to tanks as it feels like they're more appropriate to fill that role.

Although I'm not absolutely sure if this covers the entirety of your bitter feelings towards Blizzard's current healing model. Do you refer to the three-heal model? As a holy paladin I've never really had any contention in this area and it was certainly a step up from wrath which I fairly certain most healers didn't really enjoy, familiarity notwithstanding.
