The way I see it she doesn't heal to ease suffering but healing someone to prolong their suffering instead. Another way to see it is that she takes delight in other people's suffering, she 'heals' their wounds before they completely break down and let it repeat?

That's one of the atrocities under her belt, but the ability IN ITSELF is generally beneficial in nature. The game also isn't known to be sarcastic, so "Resurrection BY COMPASSION" feels off it was intended as a torture/killing tool.
Keep in mind that there's a difference between the abilities in themselves and the way the character uses them. Chiyu got her time rewind ability due to her overwhelming wish to restore the baka trio's friendship of the past. What dominant wish of WC caused her to receive Healing and Resurrection as abilities?
I'm exceptionally interested in her, and I'd fully expect Haru not only to "talk" with WC, but rather even to fall under her influence. For maximum drama, the author could (and should) instigate a tug-of-war for Haru between KYH and WC.
In the meantime, I'll handle WC with care, but I think that there's going to be more about her than just "Evilest of all Evil Bosses".
