Woah now, I'm just one person wishing WHM stood a fair chance in the raid game. Why does one job have to be singled out to be for new players only and not for serious gameplay?

What does that mean fair chance? B/c whm can sufficiently complete all content with relative simplicity compared to the juggling ast/sch has to do. What WHM gains in safety and simplicity; ast/sch loses for the chance to increase raid dps marginally. Unless you're going for top 1% speed clear at max gear (if that's your end game), then there is nothing unfair in the chances WHM has in any raid (with a sch or ast co healer).

I am competitive with raiding, and I would like for WHM to be an option in our parties.

By competitive you mean attempting to achieve the max raid DPS possible? In order to give you and really the other extremely small amount of ppl in the overall community that would actually make attempts at that goal with a WHM; they would have to add another lvl of WHM utility that may be too complex/cumbersome for the nominal WHM mass.

I don't think WHM players are as incompetent as you assume they are. I've played with amazing WHM players who just feel like the amount of GCD clipping on AST due to cards is clunky.
