WHM has very natural and soothing element types, PLD has a shield and holy spells. I dont see WHMs cursing things into darkness or PLDs getting a beheading finisher yet, so far feels like what one wants to do with them so far.
WHM's arguable problem isn't that its actions don't fit the Job; it's that the previously unique function and feel of the Job have been steadily eroded since 2.x, and the first info on 4.0 doesn't do much to reassure players that WHM will be taking steps towards reclaiming a more defined identity among the healers.

...and it doesn't help that the Lily system as presented thus far is utterly lackluster.
