Use it.
why would i waste the strongest heal ast has on just some plain old aoe i can heal with earhtly star? im talking about things like, just off the top of my head, using macrocosmos for things like p2s changeling flow so that it heals people after the first set of mechanics go out so that neither healer has to heal that mechanic. too early and you miss the puddles, too late and people die to the next push. i also use it for act 2 of p4s, at the exact moment that i have enough time to move to do the mechanic while also managing to hit everyone, and also fully heal all the damage at the end before the next big raidwide. if my gcd isnt aligned perfectly i have to clip the gcd or else i wont be able to actually heal everyone in time or its gonna be too early and get wasted.

those 2 are just examples off the top of my head where i can save a lot of healing if i plan my usage correctly, and im sure plenty more examples will pop up.

Used 90 ast for the first time yesterday and i play from EU on an NA server and i had not a single problem using it in time since it also has a 15 second soak duration.
the key point im trying to make here is making the most out of it. im not gonna waste macrocosmos on random boss attacks that i dont even need to gcd heal in the first place. if the party is gonna spread out too much to actually heal them, you can take those 15 seconds to your advantage, but youll have to actually time macrocosmos so that the timer on microcosmos runs out at just the right moment.
