Excogitation is GREAT. It is 650 heal potency compared to Lustrate, and it procs instantly. You use it when you know a boss is going to be doing a tankbuster, or any situation where you have an unknown. Heal like you normally would, use Lustrate for those big heals, but use Excogitation when you know your tank has a lot of damage incoming. It has removed so much stress for me already!!

We really do need AoE DPS, though. I miss Miasma II fiercely. Shadow Flare wasn't good enough before, and it certainly ain't cutting it now.

"Removed" stress? Don't you mean "added"? You put it on and then you watch it not proc because either your cohealer prevents the target from hitting 50% or the tank self-heals, regens, or mitigates to prevent it. Worse yet is a fight with tank busters that come in intervals less than 60 seconds so you move to apply it and catch it on cooldown, and then there's that great moment when you crit your shield and prevent the tank from hitting 50% on your own. And in the end it really is a flat 650 potency. That is 50 potency more than a lustrate, and as an ability cannot be effected by largesse, dissipation, tank stance, convalescence, and so on.

I like excog, it's a fun idea and I intend to use it as much as possible until I get used to it, but I fully admit it's just as irritating to see it wasted as it is to completely overheal a lustrate. We'll live doing it, certainly, but it feels bad when you're in try-hard mode. Having it auto-proc after 30 seconds would be a nice QoL addition, but we'll get used to it regardless, because that's Scholar life.
