I do apologize if I was being confusing in my posts...I'll try to clarify.

During P1, I never use Cure 3 until gigaflare, and it's always just Medica II. The Medica II should be divine sealed for the 3rd one, and I haven't been doing that. This caused me to waste some MP topping people off with a rushed Cure 3. For Flatten, I've been timing Medica II to go off right after the last hit of Megaflare goes off, sneak a Cure II in for the flame breath and begin casting stoneskin in preparation for Flatten/Flame Breath x3. If my healing output was better than just 1300 a Cure I, I wouldn't have to use so much MP to keep the tank up during that. Gear will fix that, I personally think it's not major problem (yet).

What I've been doing for P2 is DS+Medica II going off between Tower and Rage, and casting Cure 3 before Rage goes off. If I don't do the Cure 3, won't people die?
- Once the rage goes off I'm healing off tank, and letting Fairy do it's job.

If you don't Cure III it depends whether people will die or not:
-Anyone with 2 stacks from flare star
-Anyone who had a marked megaflare and have 1 stack or more

Medica II won't get them up high enough to survive the rage if either of the two conditions apply. It's possible to avoid 2 stacks for the first set of flare stars. But for the second and third there's bound to be someone with 2 stacks.

So rather safe than sorry: Do use Cure III

This has been my experience as well. MedII seems to be more than enough to get the party to full health before the next time they're supposed to take damage. Especially if you add DS to the mix.

I suspect this is very gear dependent and the number of rage stacks. Just the MedII probably won't be enough to save a DPS with 2 stacks, assuming they've taken a hit from a Megaflare component. Personally, I've been using single cures on 2-stacked party members or a Medica I if there are 3+ with 2 stacks. In the end, you need to make the judgement call based on your allies' health pools if you're aiming for efficiency. If you're just pushing for seeing as much of the fight as possible - just overheal with Cure III and tone it down as your group grows in competence.
