I just looked up one of my logs and looked at Embrace (made up the most of my healing in the fight). There were a total of 43 casts and a 14% crit rate. My average crit hit = 2850 and my average regular hit = 1792 which equals 1.6. Granted there are a lot of factors which may also skew this data, so this test should be taken with a grain of salt. For example, I have no idea how much each are affected by fey illumination, convalescence and defiance.
I don't think it'd be too hard to test if push comes to shove - more time consuming than difficult. I might try to test it this week if I get time to do so.

Until then, I'd probably refrain from including that Crit potency bonus in any sort of healing theorycraft until we know for certain because the quote I gave you in my post does indicate that it would only affect damage dealt. I'm more inclined to believe S-E's patch notes than a random "It feels like this" (no offense).
