Heals target party member and other party members within 15 yards of the target.

Old trainable talent:

A powerful prayer heals party members within 30 yards for 444 to 472

I believe that some of your numbers are slightly off, but not enough to invalidate your point or even lessen it, I think they're pretty close.

The main difference is that Circle of Healing has a 40 yard range when casting, and heals others within a 15 yard radius of the person you've targeted. That has some amazing tactical uses; that you can sit (likely well) out of harms way and send heals to a group of players. To equalize some of that ability the healing potency isn't as strong as a normal prayer of healing maybe, but I don't think it's anything to be scoffed at either. I would be surprised if the talent was completely overlooked in strategies for future dungeons and encounters, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was relied on for more than a few.

Q u o t e:

There goes my hopes of them EVER replacing Circle of Terrible.

HAHA!!

You've summed up your displeasure with something by replacing one of the words in it to a negative, thus providing us all a quick and easy way to refer to it while still showing how much we dislike it! How original and smart!
