But I need healing grrr.
Notice that healing is certainly something you won't need long term - in a couple of months maybe, even. Amaterasu is a bad healer (heals less per turn than SR Brynhildr), but more importantly, she REDUCES the amount of damage you take. Against normal attacks (because yes, they matter, especially when enemies Combo) her Blind is a life saver. Against Overdrives, her -20% Atk and Def up will take the brunt off the hit.

So uh, tl;dr; don't mistake Amaterasu for a healer - she mitigates more than what she heals. I don't know if that difference actually matters all that much, but just for the record~~

As for Fire Amon, she will supposedly be good for a long, long time. Personally, I'm not sure. It feels like everyone is assuming that Fire Amon users also have 2-Star Echida, in which case yes, she's a beast. She's still very good even without (and has that fabled +20 burst to all I see, plus is a Full Burst buffer which is highly valued for end-game), but I wouldn't call her Svarog/Uriel tier.
