So a WHM that can deal that much more in comparison to their cohealer would be good. Say, AST with the second highest dps does 2k on average, while a WHM does 3000 on average. That's a 1k added dps bonus over the AST's 600(assumed) average added contribution through cards, and WHM could substitute for an AST when dependable damage dealing is needed rather than an unreliable dps buff that may never appear.

I mean. It's just common sense... that seems to be the niche they're trying to push WHM into, like SAM.
As it stands now you lose about 2k raid dps just from the opener by not having AoE balance. And that's just one, never mind the multiple you'll probably get throughout a fight. WHM has no chance in making up the difference.
