I thought that at first, and then I actually took a look at the difference Inner Fire makes. It adds such a large bonus to your armour rating (typically taking damage reduction from 10% to 20%) that you can't really afford to ignore it - it makes you much sturdier when you inevitably pull aggro, which even dedicated healers do occasionally.
By not using inner fire you're basically halving your damage reduction, and it all counts when you're wearing cloth. It won't compensate for not being able to wear the higher classes of armour, but it's cheap to cast and lasts through a few fights - why wouldn't you use it?
Haven't ever got as far as taking the Improved Inner Fire talent, so don't know how much better it makes the spell, if any.
You don't know what you're talking about.
