Double/triple pulling a heavy dungeon pack in 4.0 in a 310 sync dungeon you'll have to play it using all your skills, but they gave us Fey Union which is really super-sayan for even the heaviest dungeon pulls and constant tank raid damage in the game. Which you didn't mention, and requires only aggressive Aetherflow build-up. It's once again, free. Oh you can pop Rouse+Whispering Dawn to get another tank regen before you pop Miss Super Sayan tether. That's two powerful regens, and now you got more Aetherflow in-case they dip into emergency range while you DPS down the trash. Easy game.

So if you are overgeared it works.

Yet, not everyone is overgeared, and classes shouldn't be built needing to be overgeared in mind.

I got a late start on SB so I'm only about i300 atm. Just using Whispering Dawn, Tether, and Aetherflow skills is definitely not enough to keep the tank alive during big pulls. Some Aldo spam is required.

And this is kind of the point. Scholar is fine so long as the healing requirements the job needs to do falls within their threshold of free healing. Scholar's free healing threshold is definitely a ton higher than every other healer (largely because of Whispering Dawn). Once you need to heal more than your free healing provides though it gets messy. In raids this is covered because the other healer covers that gap. There are times though that the Scholar himself needs to heal more than his free healing provides (usually due to bad players), and when this happens Scholar becomes trash tier where as the other 2 healers would be absolutely fine in the same spot.

Should Scholar's MP healing be as efficient as the other 2 classes? Of course not. I understand that because of how much free healing scholar has that their MP efficiency should be lower than the other two...but not by THIS much. I mean 50% higher costs, lower MP regen, and lower potency than White Mage? The difference in free healing between the jobs isn't THAT big (it's mainly whispering dawn, everything else Scholar has there's an equivalent).
