4.1 and us healers

[Riyshn]

Especially since Scholars are worse in mana regeneration now than they were (and the cake goes to White Mage).

This is not actually true. SCH's overall MP economy is a bit crap right now because of the Adlo/Succor/Physick* cost increases, yes, but our actual MP regeneration is higher than it was before even with the Aetherflow nerf to 10%. Lucid and Quicken more than make up the difference - at least at current Piety values; it is possible that later patches will scale our MP pools (and thus Aetherflow's %-based recovery vs Lucid's flat value) up enough that this is no longer true.

*Physick was not actually nerfed, true. However, pre-SB it was an exact clone of Cure (minus the proc) in both potency and MP cost. With SB Cure got a 50p buff, but Physick did not, and they still share the same MP cost.

But then Adlo can crit and be 900 potency.

420Hp/840Sp, technically (after accounting for the crit modifier). Except we have no way to guarantee when that will happen, so it's effectively worthless when working out the value/power of the spell for essentially the same reason the original versions of Lillys/Hyper Lightspeed/Quickened Aetherflow were - because we can never plan around it happening.
