My clan is in a war and instead of using regular cc troops like dragons or valkyrie, I thought I could use a healer to heal my king. I tried this in a friendly challenge wear I put the king and cc outside the walls and my friend attacked king with ten archers. The lvl ten king took the archers with the healer healing him. So I know the healer will heal the king, but would this be effective in a war situation.
No it would not. The healer will act as you describe but against any competent war army the healer will be virtually useless as a CC troop.
Healing a king makes no sense as he has no range so he will walk around the base only clearing thrash and nobody shoots the defenses behind the wall. Also carrying a healer in the cc is not a wise idea as only 1 fits inside and all the other slots are wasted (if you add more troops they will get healed instead or are air troops that serve no purpose). At th5 it may make sense carrying a healer in the cc for farming, but in war I would still go with cc hogs or loons.
Suggested war armies are:
TH7: 10 dragons + 3 lightning spells + 4 cc loons
TH8: 10 dragons + 2 lightning lvl5 + 1 quake + 1 rage + cc loons and haste
or 32 hogs lvl4 + 7 wizards + 12 barbs + 3 heal + 1 poison + cc hogs and skeleton
