Halo also contributes to damage, a factor that increases greatly the more targets there are on a fight. Halo is more of a raidwide burst heal, something I find disc lacking otherwise.
In regards to positioning it doesn't require amazing positioning, you can basically eyeball yourself a spot that looks to be about 20-25 yards away from the greatest number of raid members. I take the opportunity in getting to that spot to throw out a couple shields, PoM, Holy Fire/Solace, or any one of a number of instant casts.
My point here isn't that Halo is far and away the best option in 10s. I'm just trying to point out it has greater usefulness than you're currently giving it credit for (again, at least in a 10s setting).
