That's hyperbole and if you don't already know it, you should. Nascent in ShB could easily heal you to full off of Overpower or Mythril Tempest, provided you had at minimum somewhere around 6-10 enemies on you. Bloodwhetting is not really an increase in AoE, and compared to what you could do with Chaotic Cyclone+Nascent in ShB, it's actually weaker in AoE(on paper; in practice it's the same). This also wasn't even new in ShB as WAR was doing the same stuff in SB with IR and Steel Cyclone; and likely before that with Bloodbath.

Where Bloodwhetting has actually increased WAR's self healing is in single target, not AoE. The increase in single target though, is greatly appreciated with the sudden(albeit expected) influx of new and inexperienced healers in dungeons.

And lastly Nascent was a 6s duration in ShB and Bloodwhetting is 8s. That's not doubling the duration.
