But I've noticed that when I try bacta spray (area heal), EVERYTHING aggroes on me, even creatures that weren't being attacked by the other seven members of my group. By the point I had a chance to heal myself, even THAT would aggro every creature to me, and with the wait time to even use other methods of healing myself, I was taking so much damage that I couldn't heal it in time, and died while all of the other members of my party were fully healed (they tried to stay within area heal range of me). And note I was buffed, and had taken the foods/drinks that increase HAM regen...
Please tell me it's a bug that every creature in an area automatically aggroes to me and attacks me regardless of the actions of my party!

You aren't a bad combat medic - your tanks are bad tanks. The more damage you do, or the more healing you do to people that mobs are aggroed on, the more they 'hate' you and the more they count you as the biggest threat and top priority to kill (due to the quite cool and newly introduced mob 'hate' system). This is where all of the taunting abilities of your tanks are needed - if you have good tanks, they should be taunting the aggro away from you after you have done a Bacta Spray. You keep them alive, they keep you alive. Go group tactics!
Just persuade your tanks to take the aggro they are designed to take
