How is it not relevent? The ticks occur at least 2 times through the 3-5 seconds of burst. With both regens on that's 360 free healing potency in 3-5 seconds. Each piece of damage is applied to the target in sequence, at the same time as all of these heals.

Repeat casts are irrelevant, if you repeat cast noct your overall potency is drastically lower than benefic II + regens. At higher levels of play every single potency matters when keeping your entire team alive and if you are spamming noct aspected benefic you will eventually fall behind in about 10 seconds and someone is going to die.
