Can a Multiclassed Thief use Fast Hands to cast Healing Word twice per turn?

Yes we can.

You are thinking defensively. Make a thief who can cast Heat Metal, which requires a bonus action to trigger. They can then hit it twice in a round AND there's the Pyroquickness Hat which gives you a bonus action if you do fire damage (it burns you too, get something for fire resistance). Alternatively, if you also have the Helmet of Grit and go under 50% HP, you get another bonus action.

Ninth level Druid (for level 5 spells) + third level Rogue (Thief) for Fast Hands. Upcast Heat Metal to 5th level for 5d6 damage. Get the hat. Do 15d6 to a target each turn...

As with anything concerning this class, doing it as a Bard is even better.

However offense is overrated. If you eat a very high damage peak, being able to slurp two Potions of Supreme Healing (even better with the amulet for max healing, I have it on my most squishy char) can totally change any fight. Same for being able to raise several chars at once.
