This is actually part of the flaw of Assize, in that it's a swiss-army knife of abilities all at once. You have an aetherize mana regen, an indomitability AoE ability heal, and a Holy-esque AoE DPS component, but you don't always find yourself in a situation where you need all three of those things at once. Sometimes you just want that 10% mana return but the party is at full life, wasting the AoE heal component. Other times you may want that AoE heal to be ready for a big attack, and so you hold off on using it until needed, reducing the effectiveness of its mana return.

It finds its best utilization in AoE fields where all three features can trigger at once, but during boss fights and single-target phases of trials/raids you often find yourself wasting 2/3 of its potential for just one of its effects, which is a demerit compared to SCH's separated variants. So yes, Assize is great and everyone loves it, but that strength is also often wasted by having it be too good as a single package.
