My question is as follows:If a DPS screws up once and gets hit by some stupid AoE in a stressful situation, but lives, just slap a regen on them and forget about it. Regen is by far a WHMs most powerful MP cost:Healing spell, and if you don't anticipate any more damage on a DPS for a while, regen is a great way to conserve MP. If they're pulling aggro, or ignore AoEs, or are just... somehow constantly taking damage, just throw a cure at them once and a while. The Name of the Game for Learning to WHM is "Never Use Cure 2 If You Can Help It."
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.
As for Medica, use it sparingly, like to top off the group after an AoE (like those little fire thingies hitting the bonfires and exploding in Halatali; Ifrit's aoe). It's fine to let DPS sit at about 80%+ health after that kind of stuff, honestly, so that's your call.
