I don't think healer balance is that bad right now. Certainly not bad enough to delay a new healer job. Any balance there was would immediately change once they release a new one, regardless.
From what Yoshi-P says, it's that they have them split into types that are not conducive to progress if that makes sense. Whm is a "pure healer" type, which is currently bad, as they mostly have gcd heals with few ogcd skills, meaning they sacrifice dps to heal, unlike ast and sch, who have a lot more ogcd healing, as well as party utility they bring in terms of increasing party dps. Healers need fundamental change. They though they could fix them while keeping the types in 4.0, but that plan failed.
