Does SGE need potency buffs?

lack of any "Oh Shit" tank heal

I used to think this and then I realized Krasis and Zoe existed on a small cooldown and can be used effectively to burst heal, and is no less weak than SCH's lustrates/other heals. SCH and SGE are both meant to prevent death due to shields so it goes to make sense that they are punished for letting someone die.

Kardia and Soteria only have an effect when the SGE is using its uptime to attack[/i].

That is indeed the point of SGE. The point is to keep up your passive mitigation and damage and regens so that you can keep dpsing to heal. That's where the figurative "skill ceiling" comes in on the class. If it could dps heal AND do all the things the other healers could do it would be busted. Sorteria is perfect the way it is and is useable on pretty much every pull if not every other pull in conjunction with things like krasis/physis/kera.

Addersting

Pre shielding party before pull = 3 free toxicons, using shield on tank at least twice on the pull of first mob then on the second mob while casting E.Dosis means I'm getting at least two there and can cast toxicon while moving to the tanks next pull, etc.

The fact that it's a dps "loss" is odd considering what you have to do to proc it but I also like that it's not required due to not being a dps gain to stop what I'm doing and barrier every few seconds to get a toxicon. It's "balanced" even if it doesn't always feel good atm.

Pepsis

You shouldn't....ever use it that way? Pepsis should only be used for E.Prog because not only does it allow you to big heal on the move but can also crit and it is Juicy when it crits. We have Krasis, Taurochole, etc for single targets, can spam druochole and have Rizo if needed. Our burst and single target healing is fine.

If you're hoping to use it for a single heal you're missing the entire point of dosis + karida + Sorteria. The main kit of the SGE is to not need that kind of thing lol. Krasis + E.Diag is more than enough most times, or Tauro + EDiag.

So my instinctual thought is to ask to "increase Soteria's effect to 100%.

I think the key issue I'm seeing is that you're using one button to do things that SGE usually uses multiple to do. SGE is about layering and upkeep and due to the short CDs we can keep using our skills freely and often because we're not supposed to let people get to the point where we have to use the same big heals, but we still have them.

All of your changes have to do with simplifying things that already exist in the kit but putting them on one button press. If you want to buff Soteria and everything, use Krasis. If you want to buff the heals on the tank, use Zoe. These skills and buffs already exist in the kit, you just have to...use them and manage them.
