Wait, wait, wait... Your big "gotcha!" here is that a role complained about imbalance within its role (WHM outperforming SCH and AST despite having the lowest attention requirements, and least dependence on ability mapping or party coordination) before complaining about their shared limited offensive toolkit?

You realize this has been true of every role in every expansion, especially in the weeks leading up to Savage?

During those first few weeks, imbalances are always overemphasized because people still have the time to swap to a completely different job if need be. Once they are stuck with their choice for Savage, or have already unlocked all choices they'd even consider, then the emphasis switches to gameplay because there's no chance of wasting one's breath arguing for something that might not matter to that player. That isn't a issue point out that 'Healers only care about their on-screen damage numbers'; it's simply a matter flagging the more immediate issues to be dealt with immediately, and then dealing with the less immediate when each job at least has a good a shot at balance as it's going to get for the foreseeable future.
