Seeing as how the only way we get ent healing xp is from battle fatigue healing, has anyone tested the rate at which it's gained?
During my time hunting with my doc I earned almost two million xp, died three times and had little over 300 bf. This led me to believe that I got 100 bf each time I was slain and little more than that. Needs further testing, but I don't think battle fatigue is applied as much as it was pre cu, and from the entertainers prespective, it should be added more.

You gain 100 bf if you clone some place that you don't have your data stored.(so always store your data nearby).
You gain 100 bf for blowing up in space/ejecting or what ever it's called.
You gain BF as you fight, it's just insanely slow.
So for the most part you can avoid getting BF very easy.
Also of note BF even at max(1000)seems to only affect how much you get healed for. And with free ability based healing there really isn't any point to get BF healed most of the time.

"Entertainer Healing" xp is earned also when someone listens/watches the Entertainer for Inspiration buffs.

... at 10xp per tick, regardless of how much time until maximum buff is applied. This xp is negligable when it takes 125k to fill the fourth healing block. Unless you find 1000 people who think that it's worth their time to get the buff.

On Eclipse, even when I just step into the MOP cantina to inspiration buff myself, I often get upwards of 70 eh xp per tick. Granted, that does not last more than two minutes or so, as players get their buffs and then leave, but it is nice to know that it does stack between various inspiration buffs.

I was helping a friend get enough BF to heal so she could qualify for novice dancer, and it accumulated really fast if you just go up in your ship and /escapePod yes
it blows up your ship, so you have to suffer that....but it's worth it if you never use it anyway, you cap BF very quickly

Yes and I've done it but is that a reasonable expectation for getting an entertainer profession? I went to the new planet and died 3 times, zero BF and zero decay, cloning there is just respawning and nothing more. I started master dancer on my entertainer account and its a good thing I had enough healing points stored from master musician to get all but one of the 8 healing boxes. I am now half way through knowledge 2 and still barely started on the last healing box. Thats novice dancer, knowledge 1, and half of knowledge 2 and maybe 5k healing points in that time.

They could do us like a combat profession (except the medics)and require BF for one tree (like combat) and musician/dance for the other three (like weapons)... or we'll have to see what they do with the revamp that's supposed to be coming.

Whee, the joys of Kashyyyyyyyyk... I've not gotten a single point of BF since landing there, including dying at least twice. Looks like once again, they want to get rid of entertainers. Just thought it odd no one has pointed this out yet. Good way to get ent heal xp though, is just continually stopwatching or stoplistening to yourself. Means you nonstop get that 10 xp for inspiration, for whatever reason. Get everyone in a group doing that and it might go at a reasonable speed.
