The few times I've played as a Heavy, I found them to be brutally effective.
They don't have a huge health bonus, but it's enough to let them last a few seconds extra. Their main advantage is the extra firepower.
If you come from an unexpected route (or are a Disguised Operative) with any Heavy weapon except the EZ-Nade, you'll be able to put an entire team down in seconds. And the EZ-Nade does an absolutely amazing job of area control and denial.
If you're no good playing as a Heavy, don't, but remember a good Heavy player WILL shred you.
