So an overall loss of 30p healing and 80p of damage from the weave, with a chance of losing further shielding if the target takes damage before you can spread the shield.

So spreading an Adlo outside of prepull isn’t really a viable tactic.
A couple of things. I personally wouldn't deploy off the tank unless it was a coordinated moment like popping a Divine veil or benefiting from a WAR's thrill of battle. I would deploy off myself so that i can control the position the deploy goes off of. This also solves the issue of the tank taking damage at the time and eating the shield.

Not to mention if you're planning to use deployment tactics you may already be factoring in the costs of the Succor healing (using it over Succor in a moment where the healing would be over healing) and the dps loss of weaving (by using an Energy Drain in the same weave slot).

There are multiple AoEs coming out in quick succession. You cast a Succor beforehand for the first one, and want to spread your shield to cover the second one. Since everybody will be taking damage, you will either need a PLD/GNB to use their invulnerability skill, or precisely time your Deployment Tactics so that the old effect is broken before the new one applies, but the effect is still there for you to spread it from.
Not an easy thing to do whatsoever, so it can hardly be relied upon for standard mitigation.
Best case scenario, you gain 225p shielding for 80p from the weave. Worst case; you gain nothing.
This stopped being a thing the moment your faerie became unforgettable. What is stopping you from Deploying a stronger Adlo shield to cover the first couple of hits and then using a faerie or aetherflow heal to cover the rest? if you can pull it off great but otherwise it would just be easier to deploy off yourself prior to the damage going out.
