The spreadsheet slightly overvalues Kolto Probe rolling - although you're on the right track with the "HPE w/ 15s recast" column. KP must be refreshed before the final tick to keep it rolling, so it effectively only ticks 5 times per cast with an effect duration between 15 and 18 seconds. I think it makes the most sense to treat KP-roll as a distinct spell that does 2*5/6 of the healing of KP over a 16.5 second duration.

With that change KP-rolling has remarkably similar HPCT to Kolto Injection+Kolto Infusion (see here) retaining only an advantage in HPE.

Also, there's an error in the formula for the "Avg w/Crit" column, though it only affects Diagnostic Scan. Your formula uses (1-crit%) for the probability of a non-crit and (crit%+buff%) for the probability of a crit, resulting in a sum of probabilities greater than 1. It would be best to replace the formula with the simplified H*(1+(crit%+critbuff)*(surge%+surgebuff)) form.
