I partially agree with this. It's both sides, honestly. WHM is lacking in too much and doesn't have a identity to hold on to, while AST is simply too well rounded. They literally buffed every single fault they had, until they were simply perfect.

In order for there to be balance, a job needs a good side and a bad side.

For SCH, it's the lack of reliable burst healing.
For WHM, it's their low MP and lack of mitigation.
AST has no faults. They'll have to consider what AST should be exceptional at and where it should be weaker before healers can really start heading towards balance.
