No. They won't. This is why they gave Pro-Shell to all three healers to begin with. Scholars complained that SCH/SCH couldn't cut it in the Binding Coil of Bahamut because the magic damage was too high without the shell component. They will not ever create a situation where one job is required in raiding. Yet, they still think that WHM's pure healing is enough to get people to take them in this content despite the fact they cannot create healing barriers that bar the other 2 healers from a role-- they have to be able to heal just as well in those situations, but they also have utility on top of that. It's a flaw in their design logic.
