AST Sects: Should it go both ways?

[CreinCrein]

Scholar offers more party utility and raid damage contribution than Nocturnal Astrologian. The dps discrepancy between the two classes is already anywhere from 500-800 at the 95th+ percentile, not factoring in chain stratagem, the opening fey wind, or how scholar is the only healer class that can elevate the dps of their co-healer without negatively impacting their own. A majority of the higher tiered parses on Astro are also obtained by leaning and pushing on Eos's ability to carry the brunt of the required HPS as well as scholar's OGCDs. 50% balance uptime (which is generous) for an entire party pushing 30k raid-wide dps, is only 750 + lul rng. In addition, regardless of how "big dick" Astro's shields are, they will never make up for the amount of free healing that Eos brings to a raid. Both first and second Ultimate Coil clears were with sch/whm, so obviously there's no impactful shortcomings in scholar's mitigation.
