My goodness, what content are you doing where you'll stay alive with the epic's crappy little life tap?
I'm assuming you're in a guild that doesn't do ntov regularly which is why you're arguing that the epic is better than a Rocksmasher(etc)

I have been a healer in many high end raid fights (let's take Lord Feshlak as an example, where you can't LoS his AoE spell). I would appreciate an SK putting on his Epic, so I can maintain my healing focus on classes with less healing power (such as Rogues). That "crappy lifetap" would basically recover a single AoE from Lord Feshlak. If you proc it 4 times in the battle, you have saved me 200 mana (1 Torpor), that I can use elsewhere.
SK DPS isn't amazing to begin with, even after the damage buffs. The resists + lifetap on Epic are going to be more useful in that fight than a bit of extra white damage or max life (you are not going to be at max life for long, or remain there). Remember, you can't DPS when you are dead, and a healer is going to focus on the classes that do more DPS (such as rogues). If I had to make a choice on who to heal when I was low on mana, SK would be last on the list if there is a more useful class in my group.
But honestly, your first mistake is to bring your SK to a high end raid fight in the first place
