Well you can say it doesn't work for you but it's a spell for a certain situation. Perhaps you only have a bonus action left and you need to heal? Perhaps you don't want to change back? It may not be ideal but it provides a chance to heal, which may not be ideal but healing nonetheless.

Healing Word and Cure Wounds are also dependent upon the current situation.


There's never a situation with current animal form tuning where the HP of your humanoid form or your allies is less valuable than the HP of your animal form. If you're left with a spare bonus action, you use it to push or jump for easier positioning for backstab anyways. It's like saying Sacred Flame has a situation if you refuse to use the abundantly superior option on Shadowheart of a crossbow+1, that hits more reliably, does more damage, and can be amplified with fire dipping or poison coating. Sure, you can use it if you're fond of using vastly suboptimal options, but it doesn't mean it's horribly balanced and should be addressed, because the fact is a cleric relying on a crossbow for their damage instead of their class defining cantrip is just stupid.
