Clerics as primary healers seems to have become severely diluted over the years. The damage that they can cure is not really enough to make healing in combat a primary goal, and their offensive abilities have been upgraded so that they are really better used as armoured casters than as first-aiders.
Healing Word is now possibly the most useful healing spell because it can be used when a party member is downed to stabilise and get them moving out of the way (or drink a potion or whatever). The burst healing is also handy when the whole party is getting roughed up.
