In total, that's getting 4200 worth of MP over 4 GCDs as opposed to just spending 1200 MP or 3000 MP. That's pretty big on MP changes. Heck, even if you do blow your lilies up, even using Misery is technically saving 400 MP since it replaces a Glare on the GCD. It's just a really roundabout way in affecting our MP.
Something to consider in that factor, they're buffing the potency on Healer's GCD toolkits in EW. All of WHM's oGCD heals will now be weaker than their GCD counterparts so Assize will heal less than Medica/Rapture and Tetra will now heal less than Cure 2/Solace so its even less likely that your oGCDs will cover it.
