I think they may be looking into changing how healers function like how they said they plan on breaking the trinity of tanks and make it more where one or I guess in this case 2 are designed with the intent of being MTs and the other a designed to be OTs so it could that they plan on making 2 healers be MHs with stronger heals and 2 be CHs with more focus on party support. I can see AST and DNC being designed to be the CHs and though still capable of healing the party and running content it would be less of them being able to heal/shield their party and more about them buffing/debuffing. This is just a speculation though but we do know that they obviously will be making changes to healers and tanks since they are adding new ones to the mix.
