I'd rephrase that as "pitch every card that is unhelpful given my current needs." Unfortunately the Bole card itself is unhelpful much of the time.

- If it doesn't significantly decrease your healing requirement (i.e. eliminates GCDs spent on healing actions) for its duration, it's not helpful.
- If it doesn't save someone who would have died without it, it's not helpful.

AoE Bole does basically nothing for the first situation since a 10% damage reduction on party members who aren't even really being attacked is much worse than a 20% reduction on the tank, who is taking 90% of the damage. Besides, even if the party is hit by a room-wide AoE while affected by Expanded Bole, that buff won't make the difference between you having to heal them or not, so the 10% reduction will have made no difference.

The second situation is extremely rare and usually handled by non-RNG abilities from another healer (or a tank LB, even).
