Simply put, Blizzard probably has to rely on channeled effects if they want to go with a reactive healing model. Instead of spamming heals onto tanks and other players taking damage, you'd have to commit a big, longer length cast instead. Instead of trying to stack up haste to beat the event in reacting faster than it can splash damage around the raid, the healers have to make specific choices on when to commit their big effects.

Replace the "big heal" on the four healers with a 5 second channeled effect (disc priests get a shield instead?). Commit the mana instantly but make the break down in cost efficient if you hold the cast to 3 seconds.
