I'd recommend NOT using Awareness ever in a party situation where you need to be getting healed. If you're solo spiritbonding or doing trash mobs and such it's fine (even though it's still pretty useless) but don't use it for anything "difficult".
It's been fixed. "Resolved Issues" section of the patch notes:
An issue wherein the gladiator action "Awareness" was nullifying critical heals.
