Lazy Healers In Parties of Eight

[Avatre]

Context for that picture is pretty important, though. It's Leviathan (presumably on hard and not extreme since DF). The presence of medica II there is fine...the presence of a regen on every person in the group is both time and mana inefficient.

In 4 mans, medica II is not a particularly mana efficient way to help keep the tank healed, but it's not strictly bad to do if the end goal is 'I can fit in extra DPS casts'. I find it less important with the removal of cleric stance, so I don't tend to do it anymore, but I used to and don't hate on those that do.

I will concede that the Regen on top of the double Medica II is a bit excessive, and a waste of DPS time. But I(like Mikki said), will use Medica II on boss fights where AoE damage that is unavoidable is a regular occurrence. If not, then I will just throw a single regen on the tank and continue to DPS as normal, then throw whatever heals are needed.
