If I'm running a four-man dungeon instance and the party is taking a lot of damage for whatever reason, assuming I already have Regen up on those who need it, at what point is it best to transition from individual heals to AoE heals via Medica, if ever? My main concern is keeping folks out of the dreaded "a lucky crit might kill them" zone while minimizing MP usage.

Just from my own experience mind you, if by Medica you mean medica 2 then the best time I find is as a top off. It will never be enough for the tank as the hp pool on them is to large. That said if damage is all around M2 can help alot assuming the non-tanks are at say 75% or above. What really helps is to have Swiftcast set on your first CC slot to ensure you always have it.

Assuming also your tank is holding hate and the damage is stricktly poor positioning on the part of the party, then the following will help in the oh shit moments when the tank is low and bleeding quick and the party has some damage on them...

Divine Seal
Medica 2
Swiftcast
Cure (what ever you think is needed to top off the tank)
(if still going to shit) Presence of Mind
Cure (whoever is still in need)
Medica 2 (if still needed and the Refresh buff has dropped off)

I find Medica 2 is great for those oh shit moments, but the small cure and refresh is only meant to buy you time as you get to work healing the party asap.
