-a bubble that doesn't require channeling
-E4E
-Virus
-a mana restoring ability that reduces aggro immediately instead of just reducing aggro generated while it's active
-not one but TWO instant-cast heals that restore a crapton of HP (one restores ALL HP, while the other is 700 potency)
-an instant HoT with 150 potency (as opposed to AST's 140) which lasts for 21 seconds as opposed to 18 seconds and costs less mana (618 vs. AST's 707)
-the far more important MND party buff instead of PIE

If you're not healing better than an AST with this toolkit, maybe it's time to sober up to the fact that it's not the TOOLKIT that is to blame, here...

Seriously, go level AST to 60, and when your static leader politely but forcefully asks to to go back to WHM, maybe THEN you'll get the message.
This list is extremely misleading, especially to someone like me, who is currently still leveling and trying to decide between a WHM or an AST. Not only does it omit the tools that the AST has which the WHM lacks, but it misrepresents the comparison between the identical spells themselves: e.g., the HoTs are virtually identical in potency because the AST's has an initial potency, which is completely discounted in the comparison, and rather deceptively.
