As you said, embrace is SCH's version of regen/medica II, and while it doesn't have the same management requirements as whm and ast, it does have its own.

1. You have to make sure your fairy is in range of the target at all times. Where whm and ast only need to be for the initial cast.
2. the fairy only heals 1 person at a time. Medica II covers the entire party
3. it doesn't follow the same logical priority you do unless you force it. (Tank on 20% hp is lower priority than a dps on 10% hp when no AoEs are coming).
4. Have to keep fairy alive or it will heal itself instead of the party, and if it dies it has a long cast/high mp cost.

I honestly think they'll get rid of crit adlo entirely and maybe just buff the natural potency a bit to compensate.

If all healers get mp management then maybe, but I don't think this will be singled out on sch. If anything they'll probably give whm more mp recovery than nerf sch.

Again I don't see dps as a sch issue and rather than nerf sch I think they'll probably be brining the other healers up to its level. We probably won't be getting any more dps tools in the sch kit while whm and ast will probably get stuff like stone 4, holy 2, maelfic 3 and gravity 2. While sch will get things its missing in its healing kit like an instant cast GCD heal (something it sorely needs in pvp).
