You're going to have to heal sometime, and you shouldn't be cure 2ing at such a low mana level. It's not such an unusual thing to build a lily here and there. Just instead of waiting for the tank to get low and then burst him up with CDs, just throw in an extra cure or two right before assize comes up. Just avoid accidentally blowing them on a benison or something, that's all. I'm not advocating for sitting there farming for lillies for every CD. Cure 1 is the exact same mana as Stone 4 after all.
No, no you do not want to blow Assize on cooldown. That mentality made healing Exdeath much harder as I simply didn't have enough options between the Stack, Flares and White Hole. You typically want to time Assize for large AoE bursts yet not sit on it too long. As for throwing a Cure or Cure II on the tank, that's a DPS loss if HoTs would have ticked them up otherwise. Lilies work for dungeons or if you have enough fluff damage going out to compensate for utilizing Cure II more. It's rarely ever something you plan consistency but sort of happens. Hence why people have such a dislike towards Lilies.
