Why would you have a Trait that relies on you being in a DPS stance to heal more on Adlo? Wouldn't it be better to to either have the trait be all healing or all DPS. Like 10% chance everytime you use Physick. Adlo will instantly cast just the Galvanized effect. Or a 10% chance that each use of Broil might cost no MP.

The design here is that scholars often (mostly, even) are going to be spending much time in Cleric's stance DPSing and switching over to heal either in response to specific mechanics that need mitigation or in response to something going wrong. Since the window is quite large (20s) it's very likely that you can keep the buff up once you've been in DPS mode for a while. This means when you drop Cleric's stance to go heal mode you've got an instant Adlo on hand. The trait is not really meant to improve DPS or healing raw power but instead to provide a more flexible transition time between the two activities that demands you've been dpsing a while (not available at will or when purely healing).

The numbers might need tuning say 20%, 30s or something to make sure keeping the buff up happens naturally whenever you continuously DPS but the basic idea is it gives you a bit more oomph at the moment of the switch. Possible addition along those lines: "No cast time and no cooldown (puts it off oGCD)" though that might be really good.

Consider it also in the context of the rest of the additional kit. Prep Tactics is similarly a short-window response tool. One can imagine DPSing riding the quickening buff and Prep Tactics->Instant Aldo in response to say a telegraphed heavy tank buster, someone getting marked by some kind of prey mechanic or just someone about to get caught by into an AoE. Sure you can kind of say this is the kit because of Swiftcast but that's A) A more general tool. B) Something that feels awkward because of the delay in the buff application, which wouldn't be an issue here since it's presumably already on-hand due to the overlapping 20/30s durations.
