It's not inferior, it's just better for my group and for the strategy we were using. I'm pretty sure people can make WHM/SCH work (like they have been doing), so it's just about playstyle and what's better for your group. Sometimes, you just have to admit you're not skilled enough or not comfortable enough to do something. My WHM hates solo healing and likes to use the new DPS tools WHM got, so SCH is not a very good partner for him. He can pull a lot of DPS as a WHM and he just has more fun doing it that way. Since I don't like to DPS, it works pretty well for us to do WHM/AST. It's not gospel, just know that there are ways to make things work.

I don't think it was a question of skill.. and as I said in the original post ive cleared all the content aside from AS1 on AST, so i'm pretty comfortable with the class. That said even though I had healed AS1 before it wasnt on an AST so there was a certain "learning" curve that I was faced with. This post wasnt about whether or not AST can do the content.. it's about how much of an inconvenience it is to a raid to bring one. We would have eventually killed it with me as an AST... I just didnt want to wipe more than we needed to.
I'm glad someone has a positive outlook on the class.. and not everyone has forsaken it.
