Seeing as everyone can use Kings, I actually agree that BoW is the mana-equivalent of BoM.
You're right that Kings is better than Wisdom for well-geared druids and priests, but there are two other healing classes in the game, both of whom have the exact opposite priority. Mages are ambivalent but probably prefer Wisdom, Warlocks prefer Kings. Hunters as well, I imagine.
The priority list is different for each class/spec combination, and even depends on gear. Assuming that you bring three paladins (and why wouldn't you?), here's how I'd rank them:
Druids:
-Healing: Kings, Salvation, Wisdom
-Spell DPS: Salvation, Kings, Wisdom
-Phys DPS: Salvation, Kings, Might
-Tanking: Kings, Light, Might
Hunters: Kings, Wisdom, Salvation
Mages: Salvation, Wisdom, Kings
Paladins:
-Healing: Wisdom, Kings, Salvation
-Tanking: Wisdom, Kings, Sanctuary
-DPS: Salvation, Kings, Wisdom
Priests:
-Healing: Kings, Salvation, Wisdom
-DPS: Salvation, Kings, Wisdom
Shaman:
-Healing: Wisdom, Kings, Salvation
-Spell DPS: Salvation, Wisdom, Kings
-Phys DPS: Salvation, Kings, Wisdom
Warlocks: Salvation, Kings, Wisdom
Warriors:
-DPS: Salvation, Might, Kings
-Tanking: Kings, Light, Sanctuary
