Hi,
After some testig, i am pretty sure heroes aint using the following skills correctly.
[Attuned Was Songkai] [Energetic Was Lee Sa] [Boon of Creation] [Spirit Channeling]

Attuned Was Songkai.
Heroes wait for energy to be low to use it, but when that happens, for beeing holding an item, he gets negative energy, making a complete disuse of this skill.
Attuned was Sonkai is supposed to be used when starting to use skills to make a good use of its energy reduction. But also, should be casted as an Attunament (ele skills) because it has a 15 second window.

Energetic was Lee Sa.
Heroes constantly keep on using this skill (wich is kind of good) but drops it automaticly when running low on energy (they should hold it until its full duration)
The very bad thing about this skill is that when you cast it, but for beeing holding an item, your energy goes lower, so if heroes use it and get lower energy, they will drop it instantly, make a very very very very bad use of it.

Boon of Creation.
Now this skills should be used as an attunament.
Heroes present and odd behaviour conserning this item. They either wait for them to be running low on energy or sometimes use them when energy is going low. Everyone knows it should be used before using spirits.

Spirit Channeling.
This one aint so bad, but it could be better.
Heroes wait for energy to be critical to use it (about 0-5), could be making a better use of it at the middle or when start using skills.

I have to agree that they should be using them as intended. Sad thing with heroes is they use them as they see fit. So the only real solution is to just managed them yourself by disabling the skill in the hero bar and cast when necessary. Still with item spells they may drop them early, so I don't think there is a workaround for that one.

I've been using Spirit Channeling with my hero and it's used well enough so that energy is never depleted completely... which is pretty much the point. I've never noticed a problem with Boon of Creation since the hero seems to keep it active all the time. I can't say anything about the Item Skills because I don't really trust heroes with their use... It's way too situational, especially since they seem to cast them mostly for their drop effect.

It's not suprising that Hero's aren't using it correctly. They don't normally make good use of many skills anyway.

basic flaw of pretty much all AI is the lack of context deduction.

Yeah a hero can interrupt 1/4 sec casts with 1/2 sec ones like monster AI can, but they can't discern the 'needs to be interrupted' skill from the 'don't waste your interrupt on this' skill.

I do get annoyed when i constantly have to force Kahmu to keep up his Arcane Zeal....

I cannot recall the page.

But the Wiki has a certain page so people can go there and state Hero and Henchmen AI issues.

You can try there. I bet the response would be faster.
