Building it as Healing (Nuisance Effect: Target Suffers Moderate Pain) with an Alternate Ability of Affliction (HT, Moderate Pain, Nuisance Effect: Target's HP is Healed) is a good, balanced hack to manage this, with an end cost of either [30] or [29], depending on how much the second Nuisance Effect is worth.

Neither of those Nuisance Effects are in the RAW. Nuisance Effects are for gross or offensive effects (Reaction Penalty), making it so you cannot hide your effect (Ability Makes You Obvious) or some inconsequential effect that has pretty much nothing to do with the ability (attracts stinging insects would be viable, causes pain, harm or healing would not). RAW says for Nuisance Effect: You cannot take a valuable power as a Nuisance Effect. Pain and Healing are valuable powers.
His original build was just fine.
