I've always seen aether/mana/etc as a "raw" form of magic, and what one does with it determines how it manifests. If that makes any sense <xp As such, I like the idea of having to know anatomy in order to heal. To me, it makes more sense for a conjurer/white mage to tell or guide the aether through the process of healing than just spreading it out and having it automatically mend wounds.
That being said, I always imagined extensive use of healing had drawbacks on a healer. For example, a wound could be too grievous for a conjurer/white mage to take on in one session, so they would have to tend to the areas that need immediate attention first and go to lesser areas at a later time. Even with incremented healing though, they might not being able to help someone in time. Even the best doctors lose a patient once in a while after all.
