carrying unskilled healers..

I just play as if the other healer doesn't exist. Any healing they may or may not do is bonus to me. This is the only thing that keeps me sane in 8 man trails/dungeons.

This. 100% this.

If other healer helps out its all good, otherwise suck it up and do it all.

As for the parcer on actions per minute that would also mean nothing if you are comparing whm with sch. sch will do more actions due to the fact that even if they want to dps anything they will do more attacks. or even overhealing is not constant due to adlo 'overhealing' which will provide a shield and we put it on even if tank is 100% hp.

Same. When I enter Trials Roulette I always assume that I will be solo healing.

The problem with that is that you both might wind up overhealing the same target. It's like the DPS that starts to spam Physik as soon as they lose one HP, or the tank that casts stoneskin on himself. Through communication, you can come up with a plan for both healers, and everyone can focus on their job while trusting the rest of the team to also do their jobs. If for some reason they can't handle it, try to help them, or adjust the plan.

Of course we adjust accordingly.

If my healing partner is decent too I often see a minimal sense of understanding and chemistry even without communication. Same thing happens when I run coil 1 via DF. Maybe a bit of desync at the start but as long as both are good eventually we automatically sync up and cover each other if need be.

But if your partner is bad.. just pretend he/she's dead. Most of the time, if they are bad, they are (dead)

This might fly for WHM, but if you do this as SCH that's really terrible healing. SCH's focus is reducing incoming damage, and they rely very heavily on fairy/WHM to heal crowds. Good healing requires that you trust your co-healer to handle some tasks while you do others, ex: if you pretend your WHM isn't there and spam Succor to heal party damage, you've just wasted a ton of MP, cast time, and shielding that the WHM could handle with a single medica II. Meanwhile your tank is receiving a lot more sustained damage because you only have succor shield on him instead of Adlo, or sacred soil, or eye for eye, or... shall I go on?
