Close Wounds (2nd) better than Revivify (5th)?

[Shin Okada]

Now, if your DM allows you to co work and create a new domain which includes Close Wounds as a domain spell, there should be many ways to add it to your spell list. There already be "healing" domain. So "holding" or "mettle" domain or something? It should include spells like Resurgence and such also.

You could use the customize domain feat from dragon mag to add close wounds to the Healing Domain, and then use the PH2 variant, Domain Casting, to swap spontaneous cure spells for spontaneous spells from Healing Domain.

Also note that unless you are a metamagic variant sorcerer, spontaneously applying metamagic to your casting means the spell will no longer be an immediate action. That might reduce its usefulness significantly.

What about that feat from Complete Mage (Rapid Metamagic)? I know you can't get it due to requirements until level 12 or so, but still, it's an option, unless it's arcane caster only. What metamagic would you even want to put on Close Wounds, though? Hardly worth maximizing or empowering, quickened is pointless... Extend the range maybe...
