It depends if you're talking about raiding or regular PVE.
If you're doing Haukke Manor or something, sure, use second wind.
When you're doing t12 and people are getting hit by several thousand AOE damage every few seconds, stuff like blood bath and second wind are about as useful as spit in the ocean.

Fully or moderately geared you can average a 1000-1100 (lil more or less depending on the class) second wind which is a substantial help in a raid not to mention if you mantra yourself and get a crit it wards off death should a healer be late getting to you or has to prioritize the tank in that situation until they can get to a hurting dps. Any bit that keeps you away from death is always a help to the raid.

i love second wind and blood bath. i have it on most of my classes as soon as i can and it's saved my tush more than once. even if it doesn't do a lot; it buys me those few seconds i need for the healer to bring me back up. granted i try to avoid aoe's but as mentioned earlier...sometimes all those baby georgies are tanked in the middle and i don't move fast enough ;p

If I'm running a four-man dungeon instance and the party is taking a lot of damage for whatever reason, assuming I already have Regen up on those who need it, at what point is it best to transition from individual heals to AoE heals via Medica, if ever? My main concern is keeping folks out of the dreaded "a lucky crit might kill them" zone while minimizing MP usage.
At the lv40 stage, nobody should be taking massive amounts of damage like that unless they're eating AoEs.
Level 40 is about when the dungeons stop being trivial for the equal geared and start being a bit painful. In this case, especially if the tank is also levelling/inexperienced, they can take quite a lot of fatter hits than expected.
If DPS are in the lucky crit might kill them zone, but the tank is also suffering, I'd let the DPS eat it in favor of keeping the tank alive, apply the Medica when you feel like it's safe for both the casting time and the mp. If mp usage is a concern, do make sure to keep Shroud of Saints cooling, and whatever variant of X-Ethers you've stocked up will help.
