I'm sure there are many more examples of party only buffs, but I haven't hardcore raided since BC so I'm a bit out of the loop regarding party wide/raid wide.
In 25s, I am usually in a pug, so I don't often get control over what group I'm in, so I make sure I hang around as many of my own group as I can.

In 10s, where I can move people where ever I want, I stack tanks and healers in my group since I'm normally healing with a resto druid that already has hots rolling on everyone, my holy nova oshit save is purely for our group. The DPS is stacked in their own group mainly since our DPS runs shy of hit rating so they can stack more offensive stats and get back to hit cap via Heroic Presence.

I'm not saying you *should* base your entire build / playstyle around holy nova, I sure don't. But I do try to put myself in positions where it definitely has it's uses. Instant AoE group heal + extra bubble as Disc = I'll take whatever I can get.
