Equivalent or better HPS and HPM aren't everything. An efficiency gain from using the big heals in long fights is that you can recover more mana via spirit when using the big ones.
While using flash heal in these situations you can mitigate the effect somewhat by bursting them, but even doing this you will not be regenning during the cast times of any of the flash heals except for the first in a burst.
Your point is well taken given all the many advantages of flash heal already, but saying every situation might be going a bit too far ;)
