Scholar and Healing (ignoring the dps aspect)

[Lildragora]

WHM = Strongest heal /strongest heal dps
SCH = Strongest mitigation / medium heal dps
AST = Strongest buffer / lowest heal dps

This would be a great point if A. AST heal potencies in Diurnal were not higher than WHM and B. if AST Shield potencies were lower than SCH. Feel free to check their abilities http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/jobguide/battle/

The only thing WHM has over AST is OGCD healing abilities and most of which can be optional in all the current fights we have currently. Sure you CAN use them but they are not NEEDED in the new content. WHM needs raid utility and SCH needs Mitigation, AST needs healing nerfs in both healing departments.
