Astrologian is in a good position right now.

Just Astrologians overall are in a good spot.

There are currently three healers and two raid spots, and in reality, AST is sitting in dead last by a marginal amount in terms of utility, healing, and meta game when compared to SCH/WHM. With the toolkit AST has, being essentially a direct copy of WHM/SCH just weaker with fewer cool downs, it relies on it's RNG utility buffs to make up for the difference; however, it falls far short of actually making up for the loss of DPS and cool downs due to the unreliable and potentially meaningless nature of cards. This is what is leading AST to be left out in progression groups ... Because it fails to compete/comply with the previous meta.

So, unless you consider "last" (and non-competitive) a good spot, then I suppose you'd be correct.

We are 5 potency behind white mage and even stronger single target in noc stance

How many times do I have to outline to you how incorrect this is? AST isn't stronger than WHM in single target healing while in Noct Stance. If anything, they're significantly lower in comparison to Dirunal due to HoTs. Stop looking at potency alone and claiming they heal the same amount; cool downs play a significant factor in why AST's healing is significantly lower than WHM's on single target or AoE.

Minus cooldown and the original nerf to stance dancing our healing is strong enough to be slightly below white mage and above scholar where we should be.

Again ... AST was never able to sect dance. Stop saying this; it only makes you look more foolish. It was talked about in development but never made it into any public release (previews included, AFAIK). Also, AST healing being better than SCH is debatable at best.

That is why we need to be allowed to stance change somehow in battle.

Sect dancing would change nothing about how AST performs in the larger picture. Even when SE did mention Sect dancing, they said it would be on a very long cool down, which would significantly reduce the usefulness, given most situations you'd actually want to use it in. It would add complexity and more flavor/uniqueness to the class, but it wouldn't solve any of it's problems.
