Well if dissipation would reduce mana costs by 25-50% I would use it all the time.

I have not seen anyone mention this, so I will share: While it is not the intended way of using it, I use Excogitation after the person is under 50%. It then instantly restores the HP instead of granting the effect. Otherwise, I'd never touch it.

I want to see the CD on Indom reduced to 15 seconds.

There is absolutely zero content in this game that has ever required something like this.

You have to understand that things are designed around timers and boss mechanics, if Indom dropped down to 15 seconds that would require them to start creating bosses that aoe spammed the party more often for absurd damage. This would have an effect that would drip into the other healers forcing a need for aoe heal MP cost to be reduced to keep up with that aoe damage pace so they don't OoM

Since Stormblood dropped, I have seen MANY complaints about SCH's lack of AOE healing. My request, whether you approve or not, would help in that regard. It would not solve the issue completely, but it would certainly help.

While I haven't decided whether or not I like the notion of decreasing Indom's CD, I don't think it would have any appreciable effect on design. They wouldn't create a scenario that WHM and AST (both already having reasonably potent AoE healing options, several of which being spammable on GCD) couldn't handle, so SCH being able to cast Indom more frequently wouldn't make a dent. They would have to assume the presence of a SCH, which of course they wouldn't.
