So my question is this? If i hit a 10th level fighter with a sword of wounding for (longsword) 1d8 + 2 for total of 6 and 2 from the 1d4 necrotic.. Can said fighter's cleric heal him of any amount of that damage.. Thereby does the weapon prevent all damage it deals from being healed or only the wounding damage.

The 'no magical healing' rule doesn't have anything to do with the wounding effect.

so then for technical purposes the total 8 points would have to be healed by resting. IF thats the case then this makes that weapon incredibly op.. it completely destroys the purpose of a cleric being able to heal wounds. If the cleric could only not heal the wounding property that would be fine.. The save isn't that difficult, but to wound the entire damage is completely broken.

It is more of a nice present to give to the fighter, so that he can shut down the healing factors of monsters with regeneration, or when an opponent has the abiltiy to magically heal. If used against the party the DM may wish to be careful, but since a long rest recovers half HP, and short rests are non magical for spending HD, I think your character will be okay, also the healer feat or skill can still allow you to stabalize and ally so they don't die from the wounding sword.
