In other words you're complaining for the sake of complaining. You're complaining about RT being a weak heal on one hand, then go on to say that RT sucks because it heals so much that it makes subsequent heals and proccs useless.
BTW, you do have another instant healing spell. Its called Earth Shield.
And people wonder why Blizzard doesn't take Shaman complaints seriously....
