There's other reasons for this...

1. DRK fights for MT with PLD, and in a lot of situations you're better off with DRK because of the higher DPS they can push. DRK are also better in any instance that deals high magic damage to the MT.

2. AST is brokenly OP so of course a lot of healers are using it. It has nice aesthetics, but a raiding party is strongest with SCH+AST right now. Also cards.
