In this case it's not even that AST is kicking one of the other healers out. Both SCH and WHM are still completely viable, just not when combined with each other.

There is no point to being at each other's throats over which healer is more busted. Scholar being good has no correlation to Whitemage being shit or vice versa...and neither is Astro.
It kind of does though?

What we see right now is an AST-centered comp versus the previous SCH-centered one. This is arguably always going to be the case where one healer is superior as long as we have more than two choices but it's made that much more noticable when it's a 1/3 since that more or less always leaves another 1/3 in the dust.

AST being wonderful doesn't make SCH any worse but it does make it look worse, kind of like standing next to a really pretty person in a picture. You might be a 6/10 but if they're a 10 you will look like a 3.
