I tend to go back to PnP for changes that would be nice, but are not required. It would be appropriate to have a sufficiently high concentration skill help casting a scroll while taking damage. A damage based DC just does not make sense in DDO mechanics. That's why I proposed a percent chance somehow based on both Concentration skill and character level. We have precedent in the defensive roll calculation for acrobats, which is also a damage based number in PnP but was instead converted to a % success rate.

Scrolls have horrible DC's and do not use spell power (low damage). I could care less if other classes use them without fail due to high concentration scores. Quicken is still very useful for casters, both for actual spells and for scrolls. It will still be taken. You can splash a caster class if you need quickened scrolls.
Being able to have quicken on scrolls like casters have it on spells is hardly an easy button. Scroll healing used to be an advantage for rogues, but with the evolution of the game anyone can get a UMD high enough to scroll heal except raged barbarians. The problem is that it is too slow and unreliable for use during EE combat - I can't remember the last time I saw someone scroll heal during combat in difficult EE content.

I don't believe the quicken spell works on scrolls at all so your splashing idea won't work. What has been proposed by several people is a quicken-like ability for scrolls that is a unique ability of rogues. This would be useful not just for healing, but also for res scrolls to bring up party members. It's certainly not overpowered because every casting class can already do it with spells.
