I believe that the aura has changed from a level 4 spell-like ability to a level 6 spell-like ability. This was undocumented. In addition, it appears that Devotion items have no effect on the aura. The math on the aura seems dubious at this point - not sure if empowered healing is working on it.
The AoE burst heal seems to be utilizing the maximize, empowered healing, and quicken - but devotion items don't look like they do anything.
Really, since we are playing "house rules" on these Radiant Servant abilities, I would like a definitive list of what augmentations will work on them, and what is INTENDED to work on them - preferably by a developer.

I believe both of those changes were documented.
They sapped when you get blast/aura, changing their spell level as well, also, the auras power is locked in at time of cast, so after casting swapping devotion items to test does nothing unless you recast.
Could be what you are refering too, could not be, best of luck to you.

It's been rumoured that Devotion VI not IV works on the Aura because of the increase to level 6.

I should have clarified, I have tried casting both abilities with both a devotion IV and a devotion VI item equipped. I didn't see any change in the numbers.
In addition, it appears that the aura is either ALL-crit, or NO-crit. This is changed from before. Not entirely sure why it is operating differently.

You're correct and it's WAI (but undocumented). I believe it's part of the shortcut they took to stabilize the aura so it doesn't get all flaky anymore when you swap gear within the duration.
The unfortunate effect of this particular hack is that it heals basically nothing useful with non-crit, so we'll want to keep recasting it until an all-crit pops if we're about to face a boss, while we watch it overheal when it all-crits between fights.
It's the one I have the biggest issue with of all the stealth changes they included. Enough to re-spec out of Radiant Servant just as soon as I gather another 400,000 siberys fragments. 'Cause I'm not about to reward them by buying their TPs to respec what they broke.
All my clerics are parked while my pally and rogue collect the fragments to respec.

Crit aura's and no crit aura's are definitely in, which is kind of lame.
From my experience having a potency VI item equipped is definitely boosting up the healing that my aura does. If you were trying with a devotion item perhaps that is the difference?

This is also documented, check dev posts to find it

See the last paragraph? I already prepare the popcorn for everybody when they really fix this. The threads in the wizard/sorcerer forums will be hilarious, when their firewall gets changed to random single crit hits.

Just to be clear, no meta-magic feats or enhancements now work with the aura?

It's currently broken (surprise) in several ways.
Currently, I believe the only meta-magic that is supposed to effect the auras is Empower Healing at 75%.
The clerical enhancements for healing (I believe it's called life magic?), crit chance, and crit multiplier are supposed to effect the auras.
