As stated before, energy Drain was likely removed to discourage the use of aetherflow for not healing. While reducing its potency wouldn't do much to change using it as much as possible, I think encouraging the use of aetherflow for healing by reducing the damage gain on energy Drain is s solid decision.
Its not about de-incentivize, its about what is better for raid dps. You should only use AF heal if there is no free heals to use and that will not change with a potency buff, because it should still be less than a healer offensive gcd. Otherwise your co-healer would have to spend a healing gcd to be a rDPS gain. Lets say, ED is now 220 potency. Its still less than malefic IV and glare, therefore its a rDPS gain to sacrifice it still. What I'm trying to incentivize is a greater reward for proper management, knowledge and practice with a fight.
