That's quite ok to have a companion that heals well enough to support you when you do garbage content like FATEs, etc

What's the big deal here ? SAMs getting heals during FATEs ?

No chocobo will replace you, and a chocobo being a better healer than a fairy doesn't change meta AT ALL ...
Chocobos parse well under 1.5k DPS but their HPS is significantly higher. A duo of a DRK and WAR can solo 8 man treasure maps with just their chocobos and make it in time for the DPS check. Two healers cannot do this, by contrast. Why? The Chocobos don't output nearly as much damage as they heal. It is a little sad that they outheal the fairy's embrace by nearly double the value. Even Fey Union scores just a bit higher (with the "bugged" version hitting nearly +80% of that, but that will likely be patched out.

The main concern is, a Rank 10 Chocobo outheals your fairy, even with Rouse.
