Best example I can give is the double prey for AS1. Try it with any other class and you'll be half panicking using your CD, try is as AST, "oh hey Synastry I can still heal my tank while healing my prey lul" .
Of course it is, just like Beacon in WoW. Â Although, I would like to point out if tank damage is at all serious, you will still need another healer to back you up because that 50% hit to your healing is not going to let you effectively balance two heavily damaged targets at the same time.
My point was that the other reason you'd use it is the healing potency increase, which is analogous to Divine Seal, Dissipation and Fey Illumination. Â However, Divine Seal is on a shorter CD and has a bigger increase, and Scholars have both Fey Illumination and Dissipation to choose from. Â I can't imagine a situation where you'd take an AST over a Scholar for the purposes of healing two targets at the same time (or, for that matter, why you'd need to in a serious static, since you can just coordinate who is handling what at what time instead of needing to get an AST so you can make sure the prey target gets healed and the tank doesn't die).
