By the time he FASTs everyone, the boss is dead. Battles also go much quicker with three heavy hitters, so the enemy doesn't really hit you. So, no need for a healer.
Besides, why use a character spot for something a potion can do just as effectively?
with that party, you'll easily beat the game well before your BW ever levels high enough to even cast nuke, much less need it.
