Divine Hymn
Use: the CC component of the spell, the heal is meh. Very situational but its fine, not all spells are created equal.

Problem:
SIX minute cooldown is ridiculous. The first time I used it, was on the last boss in heroic Old Kingdom. It was great when I had 4 "mobs" beating on me when the boss did Insanity, 20 sec CC, ample time to take down 2 of them. 2nd time around, I had to rely on fear and needless to say, I didnt make it thru that Insanity (the rogue killed me naturally)

Suggestion:
Lower the cooldown. 3 mins would be good.

Hymn of Hope
Use: ugh, if I can get it off. I KNOW, MANA IS MANA!

Problem:
EIGHT second channeling for 8% mana, FIVE MINUTE COOLDOWN, really?!...heroics I dont see anyone (regardless of spec) using it during combat. Spriest using it then going back to shadowform, wait the mana gained is lost just by going back to shadowform. Healing priest, people would die if you stopped casting.

Suggestion:
I don't know how to fix this horrible horrible spell. Arcane Torrent is 6% instacast 2 min cd, just ugh...my brain hurts

We have some plans to tweak the Hymn spells a little, but they are not at the top of the list. When things settle down a little, we'll try some new ideas.
