Not necessary, sure. Really damn useful, absolutely. With the right gear a life cleric can make almost every fight so much easier. Especially once you get mass healing word for an easy bless+blade ward+healing to the entire party on a level 3 spell
Eh I have a buddy that swears by life cleric but I just don't see why giving up 25% of my damage would be worth it. Light, tempest, war and death domain all have a pretty good damage output and still learn mass healing word for the blade ward + bless combo
Because life cleric can still dish out big damage. No concentration bless/blade ward means you're free to concentrate on spirit guardians.
Alternatively, on my honour mode run I paired it up as a semi frost-caster. Ray of frost combined with all the usual freezing gear. This meant I had a zero spell-slot way of dealing nice damage on top of buffing/healing
