Well, with the right nations, (and the right research) thats not that much of an issue. You do have to experiment, but I find bards will cast soothing songs fairly reliably, for example.

Similarly, I've had pretty good luck single path nature mages casting heal spells.

the metric seems to be that the computer likes to hit the biggest target possible with the most damage possible.

by that metric the touch heal spells score pretty well.
