That's absolutely not true. There are different modes that mercs can be set to. In my experience, if a healer merc is set to "Efficient", or even "Balanced", they wont be wasting mana on 1-hp heals. They cast HoTs, and then, once you start getting lower, they begin casting instant heals.
I don't believe they CH, or at least they didn't the last time I played, but they're not terrible healers. I solo'd (occasional groups here and there) my Mage to 78 with my trusty Cleric merc, and it rarely went OOM.
