I still consider it a joke because it's just basically a big
targeted DD. Yes it can save you from time to time, but
because the damage it does is (usually) small relative to the
hp a creature has, it doesn't turn the tide of a battle (well,
maybe at low levels it does). Lay Hands OTOH basically
doubles the lifetime of one member of your party.
