You're correct, their are ASTs "clearing" A:S and they even started this thread, http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...stro-in-savage. But clearing content doesn't equal balance. The game has 3 healers and two spot in a full party. If AST can't keep up with the other two they get left behind. All three jobs need to be different in play style but equal in terms of how well the party can complete the content.

How do Astrologians not compete with the other two jobs? We buff other party members via our cards and our healing is only 2-3% below the other two healers. Nocturnal has advantages over the scholar along with still stronger single target heals and being able to shield/heal instantly for a 500 potency buffer/heal faster then a scholar can adlo unless using tactics. Synastry lines up with tank busters every two rounds giving you more then enough time to coordinate with the other healer to rotate cooldowns accordingly.

We are stronger aoe healers then scholar and weaker single target healers then white mage. We do our jobs well on whatever field we are employed. If SE will let us have a cooldown to swap stances or temporarily stance dance being able to put up aspect duial helios along with turning around and shielding both tanks and emergency dps about to die with a 500 potency instant cast buffer we are going to be gold. Even without stance dances noc stance alone has saved several people in A1 and A2 when adds are hitting on dps.

Besides the point. Any healer can clear the content sure, does it make them equal? no. Its like saying any car can get you to any destination, does that mean all cars are equal? think about it
