Exactly, which is how it balances itself. Scholar does more DPS with the GCDs it has, Astrologian raises the party's DPS.
Raising the potency of Adloquium could tip this balance too much in Scholar's favour by giving it even higher DPS.

I'm not saying the balance is perfect, but it's enough that no healer is worth more than another outside of absolute DPS min/maxing. While I don't have problems with MP myself I'm not against lowering the cost, but I don't believe that increasing the strength of Scholar's shields is the right way to adjust it
