If it indeed works as some suggest, by eating up a HoT for an instant heal, that'd give the resto druid another emergency heal option. Right now, our only option if NS is on cooldown is to throw a regrowth (2s cast, 1.8s if you have 5-piece Stormrage), perhaps a rejuv, and then hope that keeps them alive long enough for your healing touch (3.5s cast untalented, 3s talented) to land. Either that or toss a second mana-expensive regrowth if in real dire need. Swiftmend sounds like it would allow you to rejuv and then consume it for a heal, which'll happen in the time of the global cooldown of 1.5s, so it'd be in the flash heal time range. Or if you can managed to land the regrowth first, convert its HoT into a heal.
Cooldown remains to be seen I guess, as well as how it'll react with multiple HoT's on the target (from multiple players). And then what about lower ranks of regrowth/rejuv?

Global cooldown my not apply, there are some skills in the game that are not affected by global cooldowns already (pally seals and divine favor and natures swiftness to name just 3), so it's very possible that you could do the rejuv and not see a gloval cooldown running on swiftmend.

It's all just zeroes and ones and duct tape in the end.
