I cant personally speak for TEA because i dont have the time to devote to it rn. But E4S and content below there isnt really any heal intensive phase you need to hold lightspeed for unless you are solo healing. You should be able to rely mostly on your oGCDs unless you are not coordinating well with your cohealer.

Also "sleevedraw optional" lol. If you're not going to use the cards which are half the job's identity you might as well play a different healer.

Dont use it for sleeve draw if thats your perogative. But holding onto it for a phase more than a minute and a half out or just in case someone screws up is gonna hurt your mana more than anything.
That's implying everyone's in a static coordinating with their co healer on mechanics. Which tells me you expect everyone does this and plays this way. I don't feel like this is going anywhere so I'll leave it at this. I can get away without using Thin Air off the Global cooldown and I'm sure SCH doesn't suffer that badly if not using Aether flow off cooldown. AST is the only healer where you "Have" to use it off cooldown. Shouldn't be that way.
