You must fall into category B?..
Its not that it negates everything whm brings to the table....
If you give away whm's greatest healing tool in this game, that keeps it above the other healers, to the most mp efficient mage in the game (sch), obviousely there will be some issues. Whm is the main healer of this game, hands down. Encroaching on this status without blances would be plain stupid. If my sch had cure V, I would use it alot over my whm now just for the efficiency, except for during certain fights (mostely where those lovely lovely barspells play a nice role).

Lets assume both whm and sch subbed rdm for access to convert, I personally sub sch on whm but this way comparison is easier.

Whm uniqueness: Why sch encroaches:
Auspice
Powerful barspells
Regen IV Boosted Regen III
Esuna AoE na spells
Raise III Raise II (difference irrelevant in this day and age)
Shellra V (merited) Shell V
Protectra V Protect V
Boost spells Stormsurge
Teleports
Sacrifice
Solace Cureskin(400 hp?) Rapture(+60%)/Stoneskinga?
Divine Seal Rapture x2 \o/
af3+2 pants Penury/Sublimation/Light Arts innate bonuses
Cure casting time merits Alacrity/Light Arts innate bonuses
Higher cure potency Rapture(+60%)/Aurastorm(+15% with twilight cape)
Devotion This is uncomparable (was thinking adloquim but meh), devotion is sexy!
Cure VI Inneficient and Rapture + Cure V will probably do more than this

So as shown, there is not much that whm gets, if sch got cure V without adjustments, that would put it over sch in terms of healing that would put whm far over sch.
