I'm not sure that I follow.

If we're going to make the assumption that MP management will be more important, then wouldn't that suggest a reasonable probability that AST would retain the DPS advantage since they not only have supplemental MP restoration through Ewer (and its buffed variations) if so desired but can also periodically buff party DPS without spending a single point of mana?

The difference between WHM and AST personal DPS would have to be very significant in the WHM's favor in order to grant the advantage to WHM in that area, assuming at least similar performance otherwise.
