Well, it was discussed some time ago. I wouldn't have changed it willy nilly. At that time folks were saying there were too many easy sources of meditation available. That was one of the items that it was taken from, as well as one of the crafts I think.
Yes, it was changed in crafts, medi ammy's got nixed for making healers too potent I understood that. Think back, 1.21z TWO medi sources: Insight and Purity, 1.3a FOUR add Hwill to the list along with medi ammy. What I don't understand is this: Hwill and its' medi aura + Immortal flesh = substantial healing powers available to the masses at near paladin levels. The only thing they lack is holy bolt. A barb dual wielding Hwills can exceed a dedicated healers prayer potential, which can carry casters through many bosses, and sub-bosses. I lobbied against the Hwill change to medi back in 1.3a, and we know how that went.
It basically gives you the best of a lot of things, medi, prayer, bo, shout and a fair dps/tank as a singer. IMHO, put medi back on purity, change the aura on Hwill. Reduce the healing effectiveness of a non-paladin.
EDIT: If I'm not wrong the two medi auras on dual wields stack becoming lvl 40 medi, while no benefit to healing, add substantial fcr and mana regen benefits.
