Perhaps it could work as a secondary Temperance still.

As for Propagation, I actually think tying it to Dia is the key to making it feel less dominant over the lilies because you're not losing that damage by using Dia instead if you need to preserve the lilies. Sure you'll likely be fine focusing on using Propagation as it comes off cooldown, but in savage and ultimate there may be situations where you'd rather wait or use your lilies more defensively as WHM doesn't have many other healing options that aren't losses. It's tough because we don't want to have overheal encouragement, but adding damage to lilies is tricky to avoid the Energy Drain situation.
Purgation/Temperance could be interesting idk if that could be pulled off tbh but even if not a simple heal buff could do the work

The thing about propagation is that its major gain is how it accelerates the misery rotation, Whm always uses dia every 30s, its something bound to happen, Propagation blend those times you reapply dia into the lily rotation so for example, lets act like propagation is the only thing introduced and a gcd of 2.5s, every minute a whm has 24 gcds and lets say they are all used for dpsing:

-Right now out of those 24: 2 are used on dia, lets say 3 on a lilly heal, 1 on misery and the remaining 18 on glare, this leads to 660*2+1240+18*310=8140 potency
-With propagation one of those dia casts would be replaced and as such we would have: 1 dia, 1 propagation, 2 lilly heals, 1 misery and (24-1-2-1-1=19) 19 glares, this leads to 660+660+1240+19*310=8450

Thats why it woudnt be held for heals but used on any lily refresh, I personally think its fine like this but as you can see if its use is tied to those moments dia is reapplied there is no point on holding a charge for later. Personally I think that if you want to add charges to an offensive action Purgation would be a better candidate, or even Efflorescence
