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.
At the lv40 stage, nobody should be taking massive amounts of damage like that unless they're eating AoEs.
If they seem capable of dodging a regen + stoneskin can go a long way. Maybe drop a cure 2 if they're -really- low.
It should be noted that spamming medica is a GREAT way to pull enmity off the tank.
WHM is really better for a big burst heal instead of mitigation, so in a worst-case, you might need to spam a couple bigger cures to get someone back up before you can try for damage prevention/topping off.
