Those 10s are enough to kill your pt 5 times over already! Given the very long cooldown, I feel it very inadequate as an emergency button, if not borderline useless at all. The 25% reduction only makes things worse.
I only ever use Lightspeed for Stoneskin and Protect, because it doesn't decrease their potencies. Otherwise, I keep up with healing just fine. The reduction is just far to great for me to justify using it for healing, when normally I can get people from 30% to max health in fewer casts. Plus, you still have to deal with the GCD.
