I will once that Vanya gear gets released, I'm always in Cleric Stance whenever I'm XP/Spiritbonding and that gear is better for nuking/general stats than anything WHM has access to. The only real reason I stay WHM now in those situations is Regen which really isn't as necessary as it is in Primals/Bosses. THM is still useful in some battles due to being able to AOE Sanguine Rite, Stoneskin, Cure, and Raise.
CNJ and THM fill our hybrid caster roles, like Scholar. You play a CNJ when you need back up heal and stoneskin, but bringing another WHm would be overkill. A cnj with int and m.pot nukes does nuke fairly well. Bring a THM when you need mostly DD but a little support would help.
Here I'll even make a scale.
WHM <-- Full Healer
CNJ <-- Healer with more DD
THM <-- DD with support
BLM <-- Full DD
