This whole conversation is pointless. The devs have not indicated that they believe anything is wrong with Aurora. They are the only ones that could change it. If you want it changed that badly, take it up with them and provide your logic to convince them. However, I follow the "its not broke, so don't fix it" methodology in this game.
I use it especially for times that I don't want agro. If you cannot think of any times that you would love to heal a group mate and not get on the agro list, then I suggest you've not seen or dealt with the raid fights that I have. I don't really care that some paladin can exploit it and heal a warrior in zeka by managing to stay in OOC regen with minimal effort. So can a merc, but a merc comes with better buffs and rezzes and no interest in loot.
Point is, there is no reason for this discussion at all. Based on the fact that very few within this class board would like to see it nerfed, and that I don't know of ANY paladin in game that views this spell as a problem, and that I do enjoy its use, I'm not sure why people here are trying to convince the rest of us (with no power anyway) that it needs to be changed. We might as well argue about tea prices in China, with about as much effect.
If you are trying to rally other paladins to screaming for a self-nerf, I'm not sure what to say. I don't think I've seen that work for any class. To really get a nerf pushed through, you kinda need blunt force and a spin-doctor (SEE: WoT arguements from the warrior).
