For WHM, make the Freecure trait offer a CD reduction on our oGCDs whenever Divine Benison breaks or expires. This would allow WHM to be able to utilize their few oGCD heals more frequently, which is somewhat of a sour spot for WHM atm, not to mention fix the trap trait that is current Freecure while still promoting a healer mentality to utilize your toolkit more effectively since you'll want to make the most out of the trait by keeping Benison on CD.
Turn Lilybell into a 3 costing Lily Skill with a significantly lower CD of 90 seconds (the same amount of time it would take for a WHM to accumulate 3 Lilies). This way, not only is Lily a DPS gain for WHM due to having an instant Misery with only 1 skill but it also makes the Lily system remain useful for WHM going into EW. Also, make Lilybell something that the WHM can control when it heals, in a similar sense to SCH's fairy skill that. Reduce the stacks from 5 to 3 to compensate for more frequent usage as well.

For SCH, its as simple as restoring Selene's old Skills and giving back the Enhanced Aetherflow trait. While the pain points of SCH would remain, it would at least allow SCH to get more out of its current toolkit without being terribly difficult to implement.
So, your suggestion for WHM literally brings back the StB Lily system in a more conditional way. Y'know, the system that no one liked that forced SE to change it to what it was in ShB because it was just the original Spear card that also no one liked?

Your Lilybell suggestion is cute, but, ultimately, doesn't really do much since, if the WHM has to use Solace or Rapture at any point, that pushes Lilybell's usage back. On top of that, you have to make sure you have 0 Blood Lily charged or else part of Lilybell's Blood Lily generation gets wasted. If it was one Lily usage with the 90s cooldown, I'd incline to agree it was a good idea, but 3 Lilies is just too much for this skill.

Restoring old Selene isn't as easy a fix as some people think. Selene was, in many cases, actually a DPS loss since she couldn't bring as much healing or defensive utility as Eos could, actually causing the SCH to heal more via GCD actions and Aetherflow actions. On top of that, the AoE Esuna and Silence, while useful, were niche at best, and the Haste buff threw many rotations out of whack due to attacks generating resources. Haste effects just generally don't work for most jobs in this game.

Restoring enhanced Aetherflow, again, really doesn't do much to address SCH's problems. In fact, it exasperates the "high punishment for death" problem. While it makes Fey's Union quicker to charge, it doesn't really change much that Fey's Union, as a skill, isn't exactly worth the effort, even with it now being easier to use.
