I'm pretty sure that these 8% were every tick, not in total...Sustain was actually pretty useful. Its cast time was hilariously low, so you could pop it up "on the move", without losing much mobility between AoE's. On the other hand, Physick have full cast time rooting you to the ground for long enough as to make it unusable when AoE's are used in sequence. Its MP cost was also lower than Physick, so unless the pet needed heavy healing, it did save you MP AND time.

Total HP that Sustain did heal was larger than Physick, if I recall. Obviously, it healed a lot more than that for Titan (even more than if the party healer would use Physick on your Titan...but meh...Titan was not used in parties normally). Clearly I can't check it now...However, Embrace heals at lvl70 only slightly above 10% of the HP that Eos have, and both heal every 3sec. So yes, Sustain was significant as far as healing the pet goes. If the pet needed healing, that is.
