You won't get overwhelmed so long as you give yourself a good amount of time to become proficient with a new skill. As an example, there are some fights that will force stacking together right after a mechanic that separates you (eff you Zurvan), so the pre-emptive tactic is to cast succor and place Sacred Soil right in the middle of the platform since that is where everyone is going to end up anyway. This allows you to dodge everything and not have to worry about mitigating the last incoming hit because you, as smart and conniving as you are, decided to place pre cast Succor and place Sacred Soil before this set of mechanics even starts, knowing that the duration of each is long enough to stay up through all of it.

Playing SCH optimally requires already knowing the fight. Simple as that. If you don't know what's coming, then what separates you from the sheep SCH is recognizing that a mechanic you don't know is familiar with one you've already encountered, and adjust accordingly.

If you haven't already. Learn to place your fairy and not just leave it on heal. It makes a rather big difference in many cases. Yet dont often see people do it. And then watch the tank die as the healers are too busy running to cast.

Fairies however are immune to most mechanics so a well placed fairy will still quite happily stay where it is and cast embrace on the tank even if the scholar is running laps around the arena dodging mechanics.

A fairy on heal can't do anything if you're moving because it moves with you.

It's probably been said before, but Always Be Casting. In addition, you've got to really learn to trust your faerie, know exactly what she can do, and be able to rely on your Aetherflow cooldowns. Scholar is at its strongest by far when you're using your tools to bypass the need to heal. Just remember that Adlo and Succor are there for a reason as well, so don't neglect them completely. It's all about balance.
