Is it just me or are people overreacting to WHM too soon?

[Neophyte]

I think one of the reasons is, that people expect the "UI element" mechanic to be something central and exciting. But that does not have to be the case. The UI element of Astro for example is just another way to display your cards, wow. Isn't the SCH UI element wasted, too, if you don't need the fairy-tether if a asp. benefic is up and normal fairy healing is enough?

First listed kill in FFlogs for Manipulator (A4S) lists the WHM with 33 Cure and 20 CureII. And even rank 2 group for A4s in 3.0 had a WHM with 23 Cure, 28 Cure2. Just saying. We have to see how that works out in newer raids.

Oh noes, WHM will get "worse" with gear progression. That's always true for at least one tank, one healer and 1-2 dps. Get over it. Gear is shared (except weapon).
Personal attraction to a job, but still wanting to do "the most optimal choice"? Good luck.
