SCH is (IMO) the smallest beneficiary of the three: these changes will make fights go longer, and Scholar gets pretty drastically worse as fights drag out.
Don't think the shielding will matter from Astro if there are 2-3 people on you, as it will break very fast. Shielding would help a lot with one person on them and even still, it is only a few set of attacks that will actually reach the 15%. Not every GCD pulls off 1500+ damage.

SCH will get more adlos out. Those shields are incredibly powerful in comparison to Aspected Benefic. That will actually block a lot...especially with crits. Blizzard 2 will be an easy cast now too without having to worry about having surecast also, making training a scholar a bit harder.
