It should give him a bonus effect, the spell alone which is spammable doesn't compensate for high manacosts and low amounts of healing. They could atleast reduce the mana cost or

they could increase the cooldowns of it and let it heal team mates for the full amount (it's low enough self casted already, when it's halved  for the allies it doesn't feel like a heal at all).

Or maybe give himself some sort of steroid, something like a movement speed buff to help him position better for the q w combo. He is in a state which disables many champions, getting a buff would make him too strong (I don't believe this but it seems this is the popular opinion) and without it he's just stuck in the mediocre tier.
