Unfortunately we will not see AST restored, wonder why would they satisfied with such bland mechanics
The devs lie about healer complaints. Whether it's through ignorance or malice I don't know, but they do. Take a look here at a dev misconstruing healer complaints about how long we've been without a healer by implying healers can't count (he says it's been only 4 years since the last healer, but the complaints are that it will have been 6 by the next expansion).

Forum commenting suggests that more people preferred the old AST. The number of parses on fflogs suggest that more people prefer the old AST. The incredibly small number of ASTs I've encountered in game suggest that more people prefer the old AST. I trust those indicators more than what the devs say people prefer.
