Most of us don't have much haste in our PvP gear.
without some haste to bridge the gap, you're comparing a ~1.9 second healing wave to a ~1.5 second LHW. the Healing Wave is much easier to kick, wind shear, counterspell, etc, especially when the opponent has to target swap to do so. Healing Wave is also nowhere near as mana-efficient, and resto shaman run oom FAST if the opponent pressures us (forcing us to use earth shield on ourselves instead of water shield).
That's why most restos use LHW in PvP.

No, I'm not the real Alamo, just a guy who liked his work.
Agianst MS classes, especially warriors I have to use healing wave instead of LHW. Otherwise it ooms me very fast.
Healing wave is acturally more mana efficient Jax. Unless its a small amount you are healing.
In fact lots of resto shamans use HW in PvP...
