Honestly they are not worth using in their current state. The imbalance (different abilities get benefits) between the classes and the gener underwhelming effect they have make almost every other option better. I would propose they be reworked to do the following:

Effects work on all nearby Guardians. Effects work on Fireteam Members regardless of distance. You also receive these effects.
Use of a Grenade gives friendlies Melee/Ability energy. .
Use of a Charged Melee gives Grenade/Ability Energy.
Use of a Class Ability gives Melee/Grenade Energy.
The more Aeon cult armor pieces in the Fireteam or close proximity increase energy granted.

Eye of Another World, Nezarec’s Sin, Crown of Temptests, Sunbracers are all more lucrative for ability up time for Warlocks, without even touching on the other utility options like Ophidian Aspect or Lunafaction boots. Hunter and Titan Exotics also have more use and utility than the Aeon Cult gear. I’m not running a Titan or a Hunter with the purpose of fueling a Warlock with Grenades.

And if such a buff steps too much on the toes of other exotics in theme, then maybe they need a stronger theme, too.
