I think that the 5% extra heals will be pretty awesome.
If my math is correct, Bene is as good as Cure or Physick now. Bene II is as good as Cure II. The instant-cast shielding effect is going to be really good. Especially on tight situations where you Asp. Bene>ED>Bene II spam.
The only thing I miss is the godly crit for the double shielding. We need to have that too.

I'm not talking about progression raids, talking about leveling my AST to go into dungeons and the occasional alex runs.
In nocturnal stance you mimic a scholar. But you become a weaker scholar in general: weaker shields, weaker "sacred soil", one lustrate every 40 seconds vs 3 lustrates each each 60 seconds, luminous aether is on twice longer cooldown compared to aetherflow, so less mana. PLUS you have NO FAIRY. You have synergy only, which locks on to 1 target for 20 seconds, on a long cooldown. So you are just a weaker scholar in general. PLUS you get no good use of time dilation. And you have no cooldowns to increase your healing(no rouse, no fey illumination). And you have less DPS than SCH too. Just less in everything.. And selene atk.speed buff is guaranteed and is basically better than your entire level 30-45 arsenal of card skills.
And all the less for asp. benefic - a 525 instant costy heal that is still dependant on GCD, can't crit..
