Scholar is a beautiful mix of skills and auto abilities that keep it from falling short in every situation.
To be fair none of those things hold a candle to Holy's stunlock. Even AST's stun isn't really comperable. I wouldn't say SCH is really the outlier as having less tools for a large dungeon pack and more WHM is just far better than either other healer. WHM gets to put out as much dps as an actual dps assuming basic tank competence and likely more when buffs like PoM and Thin Air are up. SCH would have a much harder time doing the same in a dungeon.
