    If a majority of your end game time is going to be focused on dungeons and you wanted to do them fast and efficiently it was always recommended to level WHM
    Strangely enough my gripe with SCH DPS at the moment is our lack of miasma II :P it'd be nice to be able to alternate between this and shadow flare as a minor form of mitigation (by applying a debuff on the mobs) - I mean, I was as annoyed at bane changes as much as the next scholar, but it's not like this on its own is a deal breaker. As you said our DPS is still nice, even if slightly lower than HW sch.

    SCH is not NOT viable in dungeons, it's just... our skills could use some tweaking - right now it feels like a good portion of the skills you use the most in 4-mans conflicts in some manner with the rest of your toolkit... little to no coherency or synergy.

    We don't need Physick II, spammable succor or on-demand Indom, personally I think our aoe skills are the one thing that doesn't need (much) change. Perhaps lowering the costs of shields or a slight increase in potency, but it's not bad. Succor was never meant to be spammable anyway.

    SCH doesn't need to be as good at buffing the rest of the team as AST, and it doesn't need all the regen skills WHM can bring - but I do feel that our mitigation abilities took a HUGE (kind of unawarranted) hit, or you simply can't even make use of them because you're gonna need to lustrate soon.
