Then why keep rez, though. It's the same on all three healers, too, even more so now that it can't be cross-roled by PLD anymore and they thus replased the (already stupidly useless, considering it had never been a problem to make it usable in battle for Archanist, ever) battle res trait WHM and AST got slapped with with something else... or did they? I don't even know anymore... anyway, the only things different are name and animation. If they moved Esuna into job actions, why not rez, too?

(Please don't kill me for the question, I feel Esuna should have stayed with each healer naturally, too, lol)

I am entirely convinced that they just ran out of ideas for the cross-roles and stole the skills to round out the number.

Honestly, Protect should just be made a WHM exclusive thing, and make it a short duration mitigation buff. Keeps it in the game for flavor reason like Yoshi-P wanted, and stops all damage in fights from having to be scaled up to account for the assumption of having it.
Riyshn, don't forget that Divine Seal aka Largesse got nerfed, too. Longer CD and less potency increase. Double hit to WHM in that department. Plus, it was one of our best job skills... Agree with you 100% on the rest, though.
