So.... will it still be worth it?

.Please stop instantly discrediting my thoughts just because you think that I've misread a tooltip. I'm interested in the extra Aetherflow charges. In no way am I factoring in the healing bonus

I am not trying to instantly discredit you, nor did I ever indicate you misread the tool tip. I'm merely pointing out why Dissipation is as "unliked" as it is. You are right we don't know how things will line up come Shadowbringers. But SE has had 4 years to fix Dissipation, and it took them that long to just add the effect of resummoning the fairy. One of the main issues is how Dissipation divides our kit. even with the Aetherflow stacks we lose the fairy as 1/3 of our kit, and if we blow through those stacks we lose another 1/3, leaving us with only 1/3 of our kit to rely upon. Yes the 20% bonus supports that part of our kit, but its not enough to fill in he gaps when 2/3s are missing. Trust me, no one who is arguing about Dissipation is even really taking the 20% buff into consideration at the moment. The main issue now is the main use most SCHs found for it is being taken away from us. Dissipation is that one skill, that every job has, that has a use, but the use sucks, but the community found another use for it, but always wished SE would change it. Hey they finally removed One Ilm Punch, and sorta fixed Freeze. But SE is taking away the use we found and sorta wants to force us to use it as intended, which at the moment doesn't work.

I am not trying to discredit you, or saying anything negative about your opinion. I am only stating that experienced SCH are taking everything into consideration, and the outcome they are getting is, the skill is still broken.

It's all good <3. It's a good thing to have insightful discussion about how some of these changes will interact with other as it's often the little overlooked details that can push things over a particular tipping point.

Personally, I think you're over estimating the power of the fairy relative to a Soil+Excog combo for that 20 seconds, particularly if it can get combo'd with a WHM's Asylum. Of course this all hinges on that not being required to pad up a spread adlo which is almost guaranteed to be a thing during early progression now.

It's really quite a strange situation to be in. Trivial content is quickly going to get dull as dishwater as a healer. However, early progression in Savage should actually be pretty exciting assuming that SE deliver on the difficulty and take advantage of the lack of Vit melds.
