Your point on ST heals is a little dodgy though. We do have Lustrate, which is great, but optimal play requires you to use it as little as possible. So while I don't reeeeally want a ST focused Faerie, I can see why the suggestion was made and how it would actually be more beneficial in certain situations. Again, having an instant switch would really allow you to pre-plan which Faerie you want for different mechanics.

Unfortunately your own suggestion is actually more detrimental in my opinion. If you have one shielding and one using regens, you'll almost exclusively use the shielding one, which creates the exact same problem again. I say this because you would choose it based on your co-healer, which as it stands will always be a WHM or D.AST. I don't think it would be worth going with a N.AST partner just for a Faerie regen, when in turn they negate your shielding power. That just sounds a little confused to me.
