That is what they started with and it failed spectaculary.
A healer is worth nothing if he/she can't heal right.

healing potency of AST was fine all the time. the increased potency leads to nothing more than more healer dps uptime. the problem was the utility AST offered was not good enough at release to compensate for the lower healing / dps uptime. today we have 2 healers in raid, one almost all the time in cleric, one most time healing, some cleric uptime. but why? because tight dps checks have made it necessary in alex savage. so they had to buff AST healing for more dps uptime. that's a DD problem, not a healer problem, but instead of fixing the DD problem they have destroyed the healer meta, because they have followed the community with their healer-dps obsession.

AST was not bad because of lower healing. AST was bad because lower healing leads to lower party-dps.
so... should they really balance healers around dps? but that's on you community: you have established the healer-dps meta.
