The invigorate BP's with 15 second cast times like Warrior and Shadowknight BP's heal 90 HP 4x per minute when spammed, or 360 HP a minute. Fungi Tunic heals for 150 HP a minute. 157/168 if you are sitting, depending on race.
Invigorate BP's are good for out of combat healing as it is 2x faster than Fungi, even when sitting. The invigorate BP's also have better AC, so they can sometimes save you more HP than 150 per minute in combat.
Some invigorate BP's like Cobalt and Thurgadin quested BP's are cheaper than a Fungi Tunic, so they are a good alternative for solo healing cost-wise if you can't afford a Fungi Tunic. With the price drops on Blue at least the price gap is closing though.
If you can afford both, just switch between the two as needed. If you are a Shadowknight, put Fungi on when you are meditating, as you can't click the BP while sitting. Also put it on when you FD after a bad pull, so you can recover HP while on the ground faster. It's good while fear kiting as well, since you aren't taking a lot of damage anyway. You can passively recover HP while chasing the mob.
