Jedi Healer needs a complete revamp

Here are improvements that in my opinion MUST be made to the Jedi Healing Tree to REBALANCE it with EVERY other healing profession:

1) Spread the following mods throughout the entire Healing tree:
-Speed
-Efficiency (this would REDUCE mind/force/action cost)
-Heal strength

Example:

Here's a list of other Jedi Related or Jedi only skills that could be improved for the Healer profession:
-Force Regen Buffs
-Total Force Pool Buffs
-Advanced force infusion for master box, ticking 300-400
-Total Heal working on more of CU states (Root/snare/paralyze probably unlikely, but i'd like to see Armorbreak added!)
-Healer Concentration (as thought by Novock) Temporary Healing Buff increasing speed and efficiency at cost of damage output (like Force Run)
-Area infusions

Not to mention Docs/CMs get:
-Melee defense
-Ranged defense
-Armor Certs

4) Some thoughts and justifications:

I'm not necessarily saying a Jedi should heal BETTER than a master doc or Master CM, but even a Master Healer heals WORSE, costs THREE pools to do it, and here's the kicker, they don't get any of the skills listed above!

You all know the difference in XP required for jedi so i won't go there.

The CU is all about balance. Here's what an "improve by the box" system would accomplish:

-It would leave the 4000 in healing super jedi insta-healer removed. You wouldn't get the same heals with a spread out by box system. If maybe a 4000 healer or a 4004 could heal for 1500 on a six second delay...then maybe each additional healer box gives you more strength and less cooldown. The 1500 heal on a 6 second timer seems almost appropriate (combined with stims) for a 4000 healer soley healing himself/herself and thus a good starting point for the basis for the system.

-It would balance Jedi abilities with a Master Doc/Master CM. By adding skills listed above, there would be more balance between healing professions. Also, Docs/CM's wouldnt' worry about EVERY jedi outhealing them, just maybe when you get to three branches in Jedi Healing we start to out heal. I'd settle for even only Master Healers outhealing or at least EQUALLING Docs/CM's if we also had the Doc/CM abilities listed above.

Summed up:
A Master Healer should at least be able to equal a Doc/CM in: abilities, heal time,HAM/Force cost, and heal strengthto SUPPORT his or her group.

Conceptually, MH=MDoc>>4000 Healer

Anyway that's my work in progress. I'll refine it more, but expect to see something like it in every thread I reply to. Not to spam, but because threads get lost HOURLY on these forums.
