tell me what I left out. At the moment the class has potential but it can never be on equal ground as WHM with these restrictions in place, let alone surpass it.
a WHM will wait for say a 1000 HP deficit to cast a cure II, a SCH can pop adloquium at 500 and be just as effective. You are proactively casting a heal for damage that hasn't been done yet. There are TONS of healing scenarios in this game where that is very useful, Garuda for instance.

You left out that SCH have higher single target throughput, significantly cheaper overall healing because a large portion of the overhead is pushed off on the Fairy, and much better mana regeneration mechanics. They also don't waste Crit heals on overhead the way a WHM does,

SCH are not better AoE healers, and don't have a sleep... That's pretty much it.
