. Bretton is ok but with the high regen we run and more increased regen from CP the cost reduction Bretton offers falls behind.

This is just false. Percentage amps for regen also lead to diminishing returns as does cost reduction. There are far fewer sources of cost reduction though.

And also, the added spell resistance as a Breton helps with your suvivability as a healer.
It is close with a for a skill that costs 3200 (healing springs). However the cost reduction only occurs when a skill is used. The additional 200+ regen keeps on ticking even during a heavy attack or anything else.
It is not bad, but I would still take an arogonian first and high elf second.
This, templar is the obvious for trials even if warden adds utility here.full healer templar

To get 200 regen out of the 9% from a high elf, you would need to have a base regen of 2,222. You will never have this much, as a healer.
Realistically you are looking at a 9% buff to around 1k base regen, let's say you have a set on with 2 magic regen, that is 258. Base Magic recovery at CP160 is 514 and then add Witchmothers, which is another 319. There are almost no builds that will have more then that, so let's add those up, 514+258+319 and you get 1,088, 9% of that is 65. Average spell cost for magic users is around 3k, you get 96 magic saved from that, leading to an equivalent regen of 192.
Really now. Many competitive raid healers are running 2k and sometimes more. It is easy to obtain. You are leaving much out of the picture which of course benefits your argument. Mundus, jewelry enchants. Set bonus.
If you are going to do some math do real math.
To help you out, and cease any attempt to LOL at more than 2k sustain I provide the link below to VanaEvr Templar build that has over 2500 magicka regen and she heals for one of the best raid teams in the game, if not the best raid team. So again, real math for real healing. Not little 4 man dungeon stuff.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhB9F4M6c_k&t=46s
