Secondary healer job, problems choosing it.

There's still nothing that can beat WHM for pure healing. SCH and AST are awesome heal/support and heal/buff. But WHM is what I always want to see in full parties along with a SCH or AST. My healer, who mains WHM, was doing 7k crit heals on me in the Aery last week. I think he mentioned a 9k in the Vault.

Hard to say without lvling them all to 60 but having lvled AST to 60, I think it's fun to play but not so sure it's what I would bring when trying to push new/hard content. Kinda wishing I had recapped my SCH first... You could do AST as your Fun, versatile for DF, side healer and main new content on your SCH.

In my brain with asylum (which I am shocked I don't see being used more as a free AOE regency?) and assize only have added onto this.

fyi: asylum range is small, even smaller than Sacred Soil, thats why its not used much. it sure has its uses, but its small size and the cd of 90 sec makes it a situational skill (or a simple extra regen for the tank lol)

If you're looking for raw power, WHM is the way to go, hands down. You just can't beat it.

Pretty much this. AST's cards are a bit more entertaining in dungeons (a bit... you only get to draw once every 30s and you won't be buffing someone every draw). Then again, WHM has a variety of HoTs and DPS abilities to manage too...

But if you really want to feel the power of your heals through even the heaviest boss hits, be it on the tank or the whole raid... WHM is the way to go.

IMO, there's very rarely reason to not use it on the tank at least. But a lot of the Alex bosses aren't huge and so there's still plenty of chance to hit the tanks and the rest of the raid with it (A3 comes to mind).
