It's less about specifically restricting a heal slot to AST-only in PF, but more about people being a little disgruntled when they don't have one.
I also run mostly with the FC and friends, so rarely PF as well.. However a friend of mine on the EU server has said that PF groups have been filtering out WHM/SCH in one of the healer slots for some content..

You will likely see this in speedruns / farm parties more than anything I presume. While I don't experience it myself (being far from a healer main), it does happen.
