I don't think SCH is that bad at healing. Actually, they have more healing potential than AST's. However, they require good fairy management to do well and also need their aetherflow stacks. Since their aetherflow can be removed so easily, they are left in a pretty solid 3rd place spot.

To put into perspective, I think SCH actually has a very close 2nd way of dealing with SMN, since they have Eos. SCH can use Focalization, Fey Covenant and whispering dawn to make their AOE magic damage extremely trivial. The only thing that comes close to this is WHM and their divine seal medica 2's and regens on everyone.
