Harm Touch line does not heal at all. That is an AA choice.
If you compare abilities and include AA choices you would need to factor in equal points spent anywhere in the Pally EoF tree and add whatever that ability gives to the comparison (since the trees are not direct equivalents).
Also, mob or mob/self only abilities vs freindly target choice is another factor when comparing the usefulness of the abilities (besides the heal vs dammage emergency factor above). Is LoH self only? I thought it could be cast on group(raid)/friend. They are both great in different ways imo.
Anyway, biased or not, I don't find the 2 abilities way out of line with each other (PvE).
i may be wrong but lay on hands cant be self only because last night i thought i had myself targeted and i hit lay on hands to save myself and my team mates health shot straight up...
as for a person who has played a lvl 80 SK and now a lvl 80 paly HT and LOH only big differnce is one is a weak mage nuke with a small heal while LOH is a extreme shoot you back to full health heal.. my LOH last night crited for 12.4k i went from 10% health to 100% instantly.. when fighting any heroic lvl 80 or above mobs HT only does like 1% or less of the mobs health wich is nothing to brag about. while the LOH heals you to full or close to full health wich every healer would love you for
