Heal was a priest healing ability. It covers the niche of a cheap heal that can be cast virtually forever. The downside is that it is slow to cast and not very powerful. For a far more powerful but less efficient healing spell, use [Greater Heal]. In situations where speed takes priority over mana efficiency, the quick but expensive 
[Flash Heal] may be preferred. While both these spells are undeniably more powerful, Heal is more mana efficient, and is a spell that can be used as a filler when nothing much else is going on.
Warcraft III Manual background
The positive energies of the Light can be channeled to create a healing energy wave. This technique, developed first by the high elves, and later taught to humans, has remained relatively unchanged since its original discovery.[2]
