I don't understand why Lustrate costing an Aetherflow stack should mean it's not good. It's instant cast, yes, but's in gcd. Lustrate not. You can adlo+lustrate at the same time to cover an emergency situation. You have af stack, and you should use them if needed. You replace lustrates/ss/indom with energy only when heals are not really needed and a good scholar knows when he need to have stacks up. Over the fights af stack are a lot and a very reliable resource that astros doesn't have.
Astro's heals are slightly better because of this: scholar can count on fairy and aetherflow. And better mp management means you can also count on more heals.
Astro has only raw power now, and he needs it.
