I would hope they do, because healing small pulls is excessively boring. Aspected Benefic + Wheel of Fortune + Extend = You could go AFK now, your job for the pull is done. In bigger pulls, it's what allows you to spam some Gravities, but in small pulls, it's just utter overkill. I alternate it with Lucid Dreaming + Celestial Opposition + Earthly Star, as the AoE stun also allows for some Gravities and spamming Gravities like that leaves you with little mana. I did notice that in Skalla, melees like to get hit by the landslides in the second passage, but even if they get hit by two, an essential dignity puts them right back to full and they never come back to back, so no harm in keeping them low for a while either - You can also put an Aspected Benefic on them and reserve the Dignity for the Tank, it doesn't matter much.

I personally find big pulls most stressful from the tanking perspective, but that's because the healer is the one in control of my health bar, not me. As healer, I'm the one in control which makes dungeons rather relaxing, big pulls or not. Hence why I generally queue up as AST for tomes, even if I don't consider it my main nor equip it first.
