The problem is, currently, a SCH handles damage preperation and the WHM handles restoration in large chunks.

If an AST could do both at once with nothing more than the press of a button, suddenly AST+AST becomes the best heal comp, period.

Why would you take a SCH when an AST provides the Barriers AND the big heals?
Why would you take a WHM when an AST provides the big heals AND the Barriers?

The answer is, you wouldn't. The AST would flat out replace both those jobs by being able to do two jobs worth of healing on their own.

It wouldn't make it dynamic at all.
Top off the group with WHM mode then switch to Barrier to apply shields, switch back to WHM mode.
Shields go down, damage is taken.
Heal up, switch to Barrier, reapply shields and then back to WHM mode.

Hardly dynamic.
