The big give away to me is that putting the heater on helped maintain the temp since it was working as the rad while the coolant was not flowing properly.
I could be wrong and it may have nothing to do with your issue but I have toasted an engine before due to a bad thermostat and every single thing you stated is exactly what happened to me. Need to find and fix the cause with these things not just treat the results.

Ill try and refrain from using those words in the future... 95C is 203F, and thats the exact temp it would hit before dropping back down.
So we know its opening, and it must close in order for it to rise again correct?
I suppose we could talk about this all day long... Ill just have to replace it and see what happens.
