Which job to pick healing

[Truen]

AST might be a meta pick, but it if by far not the most used healer if anything. I'd say I see more WHMs and SCH than ASTs mainly because people dislike the card system that much.

I wouldn't say SCH is the worst healer because it does well in healing with its shielding kit. In terms of the three healers, it's not exactly the best pick for dungeon runs because it is a shield healer - and thus focuses more on increasing survival rate on big attacks with extra HP as a buffer. It excels in bossing instead. SCH's dps kit did get gutted pretty bad though, but the same can be said for all healers this expansion.

Honestly, play whoever you want. From what I hear, you already decided on picking SCH. Just give it a go before deciding if you don't want to continue tbh. If you dislike it, try another healer or just wait for a 4th.

What dps kit? We have ONE spell we spam 80% of the time now. Yoshi murdered the Scholar just the same he murdered Seline. RIP my sweet fairy, Square Enix always hated you.
