SMN/RDM/BLM all have the exact same role, yet they don't play similar to each other at all, I don't see why AST/SCH/WHM can't be treated similarly just because their icons are green.
And have you seen the complaints from RDMs? That's actually my main, but I don't think we should have the same level of damage as BLM or SMN. However, many do it seems. And that just proves my point.

I have horror stories of playing WoW from vanilla all the way through MOP when classes were so incredibly broken and unbalanced. After MOP, all classes started to basically be the same because of it. But holy crap, warlocks were one-person raids. Resto druids trivialized content because of how OP their healing was and they NEVER died in PvP. Ever. Even with five or six players attacking them.

So, yes I'm biased because of the absolutely horrible experiences I had playing terribly designed classes in other games back in the day.
