    Good recommendations here, overall. I would also add that your group as a whole has responsibility here as eamett mentioned. Because even dd can reduce the incoming dmg and therefore increase the raid dmg, since both healers can dps more and heal less. You should talk with them when to use skills like shake it off, feint, passage, dismantle or addle for example. Also plan out the best tank cd for tank busters (holmgang, livind dead and hallowed ground). You could go even further, but that should be more than enough to clear content (v1-v4).

    Always have your DoT's up, then spam your stone/broil/malefic. Use your oGCD damagers like Assize on cooldown.
    ABC is key here as you said, but i don't agree with using azzise on cooldown, because azzise is one of the good ogcd aoe heals and sometimes it is better to wait a few seconds to heal aoe dmg with it. Additionally azzise could be saved for situations with more adds aswell. V3 ninja phase comes to mind. Perfect spot to utilise the skill, since you will hit many adds with it and heal the aoe spam of the boss. As an scholar you shouldn't use ED all the time to weave since sometimes you should save an stack to use skills like indom, for example. This is an very strong aoe heal and can save gcd for both healers. Which is ultimately the second goal after ABC. Using as much Fairy or oGCD skills as possible to increase the gcd spend on dmg skills for both healers.

    You said it very well and having both healers trying to heal and deal dmg will always be better than doing MH/OH. This just requires class understanding of all healers (+tanks) and communication. You don't have to go all out either and plan every aoe dmg out for the start. Just use simple rules. For instance, when the scholar uses rouse+WD and it is enough to heal the group up high enough, then there is no need for other aoe healing. Priority should be Fairy healing/ofgd > gcd healing. The latter can be used with swiftcast. Althought i wouldnt recommend this during progress, because people will die, unless people would die if you don't use swift for healing asap.

    PS: I'd also recommend this guide for scholar -> https://www.mooglemedia.com/sch-class-guide/
