If regen is "worth it" then you're fighting stuff that is trivial. Against anything that actually hits decently hard you're better off using cure spells. The mp difference between healing 975 hp's with regen IV and cure V is 5 mp (82 vs 87), with the difference being that it casts faster, the hp's are healed now, I give them a stoneskin effect, and it frees up half my group 1 merits for a spell that can be a lifesaver (barspells). I can also cure someone outside of my party.

Regen was a decent tool when leveling up back when we use to fight offensively weak crabs, but with anything that has even medium spike damage it just doesn't do the job.
