as healer, how much tolerance you have for your party before you snap?

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.

Actually, a full kit SCH is nearly as efficient as a WHM in putting out AOE DPS. You have a myriad tools to deal with incoming damage - Permanent, automatic regen in the fairy, Rouse, Whispering Dawn, Excog, Lustrate, Fey Union, Fey Illumination, Fey Covenant for magic enemies... You can even Sacred Soil if you need, assuming the tank won't move too much for extra 10% mitigation. They can also put a shield up before pulls, and the bulk of their kit isn't GCD tied - no need to refresh Regens like WHM.

Holy is strong, but it has a longer-than-average cast time (nullified by PoM, which has a large cooldown), huge MP cost (nullified by Thin Air) and damage dropoff on big packs. Miasma II on the other hand is instant-cast (which lets you weave ED's easily inbetween for extra 150 potency), has no dropoff, costs less MP and puts a dot that ticks for 25 potency on every enemy.

I'd say WHM is better at AOE burst considering they have all their CDs ready, but SCH does more consistent AOE damage overall.
