What? You do know that at those levels, a regen that pulls groups of 3 mobs, would still mean a wipe regardless of whether or not she used stoneskin on herself, right?
Even with a swiftcasted Stoneskin, the OP still would've died if the tank didn't pick them up enough. Depending on her, her gear, and the mobs fanciful crit rate, she would have dropped no matter what. And if she tried to prevent a wipe initially, the Bene would only have helped so much.
1.) Have you ever used Stoneskin on a tank just as he pulled? Acts like a regen and immediately gets you smacked. It does have noticeable enmity.
2.) Read again above how a stoneskin on her would have only helped so much. Obviously the tank couldn't get the mobs off her and thus led to the wipe.
This statement of yours is just mean for the sake of being mean.
I'm a final coil healer and I know how to do my job. I can use every possible means to save myself and if the tank doesn't get a mob off me, I cannot save myself. There's no way a whm who has used Benediction can pop off a spell fast enough to save themselves. If they pop PoM and cure themselves, the mobs will all flock to them still while the tank attempts to deal with the herd. It'll end up in a cycle of death all around. Healers just aren't built for sustained hits in their normal gear. Vit melded accessories won't matter if your equipment still makes you squishy.
Stacking vit also affects the effectiveness of your cures. Every cure needs to push it in a TBD wiped. So stacking Vit and your cures suffering for it don't make you a good healer. Using pure vit accessories (such as Noct) as a healer (or any job, really, besides tank) in regular dungeons is what scrubs do who don't have the correct gear for their job. Inflating your HP doesn't equate to value.
This last part here has nothing at all to do with the OP or this thread. She didn't say that she couldn't keep up. She said that she got smacked because of regen/Medica II and the tank couldn't peel them off her.
