DID NOT play WAR....
Ignore this post if you like.
I can tell you that healing in AOC varies depending on the healing class you choose. I can also tell you that AOC healers are not Heal Bots. AOC Healers kill people.
I for one play a Bear Shaman. This is a HOT healing class that dishes out superior DPS as well. I debuff, Buff, CC, and heal on the side. One of my heals is activated by the push of a button and when I hit my next target it heals with a HOT all in my party that are within range.
So I don't know what your question was but I do know that alot of games make healers into pointless boring pets on a leash. If you want to do some explanation of what you are looking to know I can help you further.

If you like playing a healbot AoC isn't the game for you, healing is mostly focused on group hots which are quick and easy to get up, as a healer in aoc you will be expected to be doing damage and using CC just as much as you are healing.
Healers are fun classes in AoC but they arn't like healers in other games.
In War while healers can dps or do both dps/heal decently for most healing classes heal botting is the better way to go generally.
Heals in War are far far far stronger than heals in AoC.
The healing classes are my favorite part of AoC. For the most part you use HoT and are free to do other things. If things get really hairy you can focus on healing and keep people up. Also healing classes are pretty adept at stealth since they wear light/medium armor.
In WAR healing is spamtastic. You pretty much have endless heals. You will be a force to reckoned with on the bg and turn the tide of battles. You will be unkillable as long as you don't die from boredom or overuse of same two fingers. WAR is a good game but I really found the healing in WAR to be very dull.
In War you have no limit to the stacking of your heals so ....
In AoC you cannot stack heals... the big heals are on a minute cooldown ...
And the HoTs are half as effective on the healer as they are on anyone else..
