Personally never been a fan of rework concepts that involved taking a champion's old passive and just relocating it so they can make room for a new passive. In some cases it's necessary, like rework where  was moved to her W so she could get, but I don't think that's necessary for. May as well just ditch, especially given how complex her kit is getting with the new passive and changes you suggested.

Other than that, it's an interesting idea. So long as the Equinox-toggled-on shields are greater than the toggled-off heals and the shield duration isn't much greater than (whether you increase the ability's cooldown or just have 2-second-long shields), the change doesn't seem that bad.

Though, it does mean you get to heal yourself just for healing allies and not for landing skillshots on enemies, which fits much better thematically but gameplay-wise just pushes Raka further into the spam-heal-bot box Riot shoved her into with the initial rework. Being forced to leave your comfort/safety zone and go on the offense plus actually land a skillshot on an enemy to restore some health (which you need to keep healing your allies) was a great decision from Riot made given the rest of the kit they made for her.
