Difference in Nightform and Trinity is. Nightform's channeling cost for Mend is very cheap you'd have no problem turning it on and leaving it on for several waves letting it charge up, it also doesn't take very long to get enough charge for a full heal for your team. This doesn't require teammates to stop what they're doing and focus on one enemy to heal. Additionaly Mend can also heal kubrows and sentinals if they're still alive and in range. Also used to be Nightform could also heal defensive targets until DE nerfed it.

The other person is saying Trinity's is less work, I have to disagree. I mean if the entire team has to stop and focus on one unit to heal up then they're not focused on things shooting them and the defensive objective unlike the passive charge of Mend.

Now, I do not know the cast time of Well of Life but it takes 1s to start channeling Mend&Maim. But it takes no time and does not interrupt the player to trigger the AoE effect.

TL:DR is Equinox a better healer? Maybe not, but it doesn't play the role of dedicated healer, it plays a general support role capable of putting groups of enemies to sleep, huge damage reduction, large AoE stun and bleed along with an ability to nuke/heal groups
