Gave lilies a spender for when HP is not needed.

New White Mage Abilities
Bud of the Blood Lily - Level 52 version of Blood Lily. Less potency. Replaced with Afflatus Misery at 74.
Shine - Combos off Glare. Deals 310 potency and reduces the cooldown of Bloom by 1 seconds. Combos into...
Smite - Combos off Shine. Deals 330 potency and reduces the cooldown of Bloom by 1 seconds.
Bloom - 30 second GCD AoE with a potency of 400 and empowers the next Blood Lily by 10%. Can not stack. Its cooldown is reduced by 1 seconds for each cast of Holy II and Shine/Smite.
Aero 3 - AoE DoT. This can stack with Dia.
Refulgence - The upgrade to Aero 3. AoE Dia. Has a chance to proc Blinding Refulgence, which works like Thundercloud procs, dealing the full amount of the DoT and reapplying it. This can stack with Dia.
Afflatus Inspiratione - Spends 1 lily to grant a 200 potency shield to all party members.
These seem much more reasonable than the original design you had posted, although I do think Bloom is problematic in this state.
Since you can only have Misery up every 60s at best, having a buff like Bloom appear every 30s (much less if we can maintain decent uptime with the time reductions of Shine and Smite) seems off. Since it also deals more damage than your 1-2-3 combo, you would want to use it on CD, buff or not.

I wonder though, if a rotating buff, in a similar sense to BLM would work, although to a smaller scale. Say we keep Glare -> Shine as is but the 3rd part of the combo branched into Smite or Bloom. Shine would grant a small buff that increases the next Bloom cast and vice versa. Not the most thrilling prospect but would allow more room for experimentation with other ideas to be added to the rotation.
