I agree that AST utility is probably in too good a situation by comparison, but nerf it too far and AST will find itself back where it started. They spent the first 2 to 3 fifths of Heavensward warming the bench. It was only after the benefit of their cards was noticeable that they were desired. The real problem here is just overall healer design. Unless they make a decision to homogenize the healers, I think we'll always see some form of disparity. Even then, I don't doubt people will still dig around for reasons to exclude one job or another from their composition.
