I leveled a WHM to 50 and ran SCoB and I realized that being constantly proactive does not always make the best healer, I.E SCH.

WHM has just as much utility as SCH and much more challenging in a lot of situations.

See, people think SCH has a higher skill-cap because of pet micro, but that is just laughable to me. As I have mastered SCH to a certain point and micro is not really a micro, you just have 3-4 more binds to manage.

Just my 2 cents on my new perspective on WHMs and props to good WHMs out there.
The challenge for SCH is not only the number of skills, but changing your approach from a typical "I'm a healer, I heal people" mindset and instead look at the job as more of a support role than a healer. "I have a vast array of abilities that protect my allies and reduce my foe's ability to fight." Once you have established this mindset SCH becomes so much damn fun to play. They also have more room for error overall due to having both a fairy and quicker heals which allow for more healing-on-the-go instead of a stop-and-cast which is all WHM can do.

If I had to describe it simply, it would be
WHM is easy to learn, yet hard to master
SCH is hard to learn, yet easy to master
