Banish spells are around Water's damage in each tier, however, they have a lower multiplier to them, except on undead, which is what they're intended to be used against. However, when two fewer tiers of spell are available for WHM than BLM/SCH, even in that situation they falter.
I should note that, looking at the numbers, WHM nukes do seem more efficient in terms of damage per MP than BLM nukes versus undead, at least during the levels where you're still getting divine nukes. Of course, any time a WHM is in a party, chances are they won't be fighting undead (Because undead have so many reasons to hate them), and the WHM was likely invited to heal, not nuke, and people tend to get whiny when the healer uses MP on other things.
