I did like the short Mrhappy interview because we got some insight that YoshiP wants all his dev team to get good to tackle Ultimate on a whim, and how much he praises Blizzard to this day because they can all play at a high level. It's hard for the way they manage things but it's good to know he's open to changing their processes to make it work.

We aren’t bad healers (insofar as a good SCH can clear everything), we’re just comparatively worse than WHM/AST in how the job flows.

Basically, the pet jobs just kinda fell apart the more and more the level cap went up.
I'd be more worried if one was an Astro main, not so much Scholar. If anything they have to make Scholar more desirable with another dedicated barrier healer. Since day one, Scholar has never been at a true disadvantage.
