If they buffed the HoT portion of EF, I could still see EF being used for fights where there is constant damage (something like Garalon/Heroic Will of the Emp). It's definitely my hope that this idea pans out, and pallies who like each of those can take any of three and still be optimal. So I really do hope that someone like you, who likes HoT healing, can still take EF and someone like me, who doesn't prefer that playstyle, can take something else.
And sure you do have that on me, that LoD doesn't require raid frames, but don't act like spamming EF takes a lot of thought, because it doesn't. It's literally just a game of "how many EFs can I pump out before the next damage burst" which can end requiring you to do a lot of overhealing with HR in order to generate the Holy Power.
