Keeping Stoneskin and Regen up is a good thing, though Regen really should only be on the tank and tossed out as you mentioned when another party member took damage but won't be taking more in the near future.
Primals are heavily scripted battles. It's basically a 'do this and win' sort of scenario, with wrenches thrown in in the form of people not reacting fast enough, or not knowing the mechanics. In a case like that you really can't deviate much in terms of strategy. For dungeons though, at least up until Praetorium, Regen+Stoneskin upkeep has been king, since anyone who isn't the tank really shouldn't be getting hit all that often.
Which doesn't mean WHM isn't still better at massive AoE heals, but honestly, I've yet to run into a single dungeon situation (short of a bad PuG) that warranted firing off AoE heals often enough for it to matter.
While that is true, it falls apart once you hit raid content.
That said, WHM and SCH very much compliment each other and are designed to work together. Â I honestly encourage anyone truly interested in healing to level both and explore them yourself.
