Hi as a scholar I can only say the fairy changes healing of a scholar if u know how to manual control her except leaving her for nonsense waste of spells. Almost whole fight she focuses on tanks. every spell I'm using she casts embrace for stacked tank. In time when I'm using any spell I got macroed fairy's embrace at tank. At eruptions I just save stacks of aetherflow which help a lot. at last lasers while they spawn the key is the fairy and her regen used after fey illumination. as a result u get really nice HoT and scholar can focus tank with his lustrate while dodging lasers. it's also important to tell whole team to group in the middle of arena while meteor hitting then use sacred soil and spam succor right after. that's the way I got used to make it succesful ofz if all rest don't make any mistakes and I'm not caught by plum ^^ I hate em

play this with a SCH, I play SCH and I can mitigate at least half of AOE damage.

There are only 2 places where healing can be somewhat difficult, the first two phases of bombs, and the laser phases. For the bomb part, cure III is your friend. Have one dps marked, and have all the dps and yourself follow that marked person to eat the bomb, precast cure III and everyone's hp will be topped off ready to move onto the next bomb. Have the other healer focus solely on the tank. For the lasers it's the same basic idea, having the whm aoe heal the party while the other healer focuses solely on the tank.

Eh, I did ultima for the first time last night (late i know lol just havent cared much). Didnt have a hard time as white mage. I even had a derp moment where the sch died, i wanted to raise but hit swiftcast Holy instead (LOL!) and had to hardcast raise her. Still no one else died. Adapting to the fight, i knew when to med 2, and of course medica to quickly heal whole party up.
Didnt mark anyone, didnt use cure 3. None of that. Hell I didnt even use Divine Seal until fight was almost over and i usually use it all the time.
Got ultima choker of healing as well, which is a nice 1st try reward. :)

Yeah, Ultima HM is really a challenge to heal, but I infinitely prefer it to Titan HM / EX where AOEs are one shot kills. At least Ultima HM gives you a chance to fix things.

I don't mean to get elitest but if people aren't standing in things that they can avoid (and have seen before...) it's not so bad, and can be done with a single healer. If you insist on bringing 2 one of them will likely only be doing spot heals.
First Phase : dodge Garuda's big AoE (make sure not to get knocked into it), stay inside for vortex, and rush outside for geo-crush
Second Phase : dodge Radiant and Earthen Plumes
Third Phase : dodge Eruption, Radiant Plume and Ifrit's Rush attack
Fourth Phase : dodge green lazers, green balls, blue lazers, and move to mitigate satellite fall damage, group to mitigate teathered bomb-damage.
pretty sure the only NEW attack is Garuda's in phase 1. The only time it is really difficult to dodge is during the second magitek bits phase when the satellites fall and you can't SEE where the blue lazers are.
Tank cooldowns can be saved for during Magitek Bits phases (when the healer likely has to move), and for during teathered bombs.
Assuming your DPS are only taking damage from unavoidable sources (Aetheric Boom, Tank Purge, Teathered Bombs, or Satellites) focus healing one tank though the fight isn't that resource intensive. but just like Titan HM when people start standing in things they don't have to you run into issues with being able to keep everyone up alone. MP is also seriously strained if you have to rez while healing.
