If you want to be more selfish, that's for you and your co-healer to decide if it's worth it. WHM has already taken a large step away from being the "selfish healer" now that lilies contribute more damage and you get more of them for healing. It's not perfect, but I think fixing it would require WHM's design to be worse in other ways, for instance, by making lilies oGCD (homogenizing) or removing Misery entirely and making the lilies just do 310 damage themselves.

Thank you for being polite and specific about the feedback, though.
Indeed, in theory, it would usually be worth it if you needed more than Succor's potency to still have the WHM cast medica II due to the incredible strength of the ability. However, in practice, when it comes to actually getting down to the point you need a GCD heal, you usually only need the lightest little tap more anyway. I would say that from my experience, in the vast, grand majority of these cases, it is better for Scholar to use Succor, even though the damage difference is a mere 15 potency or so. Like, a solid above 80% of the time.
