Try casting whispering dawn mid fight... if your fae don't have any embrace queued for healing others its fine. Except for the fact that you want to use fae spells to help bring up the team at the most chaotic time. Imagine your team is suffering huge AOE damage and you try to use whispering dawn.... takes at least 5 seconds to do it cause of the AI messing up thinking she gotta embrace the whole bloody team with her tiny hands.

You can tell scholars to get gud by planning the AOE phase but fights like Susano is more reactive. If there is just one person that sets off the lightening on the team... you can't "pre-plan" that.
It's not nearly as troublesome as you make it sound.

There's 3 seconds max before Eos begins casting what you commanded her -- the length of her GCD. Scholar has always been about foresight and planning, so as you learn the fights you know when to use fairy abilities.

I... don't think you're using Whispering Dawn at the right time. Indom or swiftcast Succor would be better used here (inb4 Indom might be on cooldown - no it wouldn't. In Susano if someone misplaces the lightning Indom should absolutely be off cooldown; there is no AoE damage in the prior 30s).

All I can say is, "use the right tool in the right situation."
