The following are some healing numbers for the records as of 09/03.
EDIT: I was using Cleric stance to test MND/INT swapping, but forgot to take into account the 20% reduction in healing potency this provides. I've updated the WIKI to suggest MIND is the primary stat again.
 
As an Arcanist:
 
INT: 236
MND: 148
Attack Magic Potency: 236
Healing Magic Potency: 148
Physick heals for 250 - 263
 
As a Scholar:
 
INT: 236
MND: 205
Attack Magic Potency: 236
Healing Magic Potency: 205
Physick heals for 360 - 381.
 
INT: 205
MND: 236
Attack Magic Potency: 205
Healing Magic Potency: 236
Physick heals for 327 - 342.
 
Similar observations were made with a Scholar casting other healing spells, such as Cure and Adloquium.
 
As you can see, Intelligence / Attack Magic Potency is used by Scholars to determine how powerful their healing spells are. This makes sense, because otherwise an Arcanist would have to choose to either spend their bonus attribute points in Mind OR Intelligence, and thus significantly weaken their role as a Scholar or Summoner respectively.
