Context: SCH is the first healing job I decided to put effort into after mostly playing DPS and tank jobs for years. And this thread exists basically because I couldn't really find a suitable answer on the Balance's SCH guide.
I am currently leveling SCH and as I hit around level 66 I started feeling pretty weak. Not entirely, but in the cases where I have to run dungeons with either a PLD or WAR their HP sometimes drops too fast for me to properly apply healing. Before, I could pretty confidently heal wall to wall pulls, so I feel as if I am doing something wrong somewhere now.
I commonly start by throwing Excog on the tank at the start of the pull and using Lustrates when they hit around =<50% (after the Excog proc) while also throwing Sacred Soil on top of the whole pack. During all that I AoE the pack as much as I can.
So after I am out of aetherflow stacks and their HP starts to go down in chunks, I feel the only way to keep them alive is Emergency Tactic'ed Adlo. However, at that moment I feel becoming a healbot as the incoming damage really prevents me from doing necessary DPS.
Therefore I have some questions:
EDIT: Thank you all very much for feedback, your responses helped greatly in finally understanding the kit.

Therefore I have some questions:
What is the best timing for Whispering Dawn activation? Pre or post pull?
Is prepull Adlo a waste?
Is it wrong to throw Sacred Soil out when tank already activated their mitigation?
I sometimes find myself using Dissipation for aetherflow stacks during an emergency (tank at a~20% HP) for Lustrates. Is that the right response?
How viable is it to use self cast Deployment tactics during a trash pull?
Is fey illumination any useful during trash pulls?
