Not exactly. Taking an underpowered class is like losing several ilevels in content. It's not some "mentality" or some conspiracy. Imagine doing content where the entire raid is at the min ilevel. Not you take an underpowered class. In the case of a healer, given what ast is capable of, it's like the entire raid is now below the min ilevel.

Whm are not underpowered. They are perfectly capable of being used to complete content and can meet the necessary checks for their class. Period. The player base has decided that others are better because they can clear faster with them. The insane buff to the balance card of the astrologian is the offending item. If astrologians could not buff a group to the level they do currently this would be a non issue. Simple tweaks to astrologian buffs could easily pull them out of the rafters. Whm's current identity is just not one that western players are happy with.

Edit. Think about it. If astrologian buffs stacked scholars would be pushed to the wayside as well. That pretty much shows where the problem is located.
