    The thing of it is, complexity doesn't have to be a bad thing, nor does it have to take away from healing.

    Let's grant some interaction between some skills.
    For WHM, make Regen and Medica 2 be able to proc a Thundercloud-esque buff for the WHM that causes Dia to be free to cast and buffs its damage. You're still healing but now you also have a proc that lets me lean away from Glare spam every so often as Dia is now granting you higher damage during those procs than Glare. It's a subtle change but one that would make WHM somewhat more enjoyable because you're rewarded for good Regen uptime with more damage and it doesn't take away from healing.

    For SCH, let's make the fairies unique from one another, if only mildly.
    Eos can remain unchanged but Selene needs a slight rework.
    Since Regens vs Shield have done poorly in the past, based off Diurnal and Nocturnal Sect on AST, let's not change how Whispering Dawn functions but rather, let's have Eos have more upfront potency but a shorter duration while Selene has a lower upfront potency but a longer duration. 120 potency:15s, 75 potency:24s. They both result in a 600 potency regen but allow for the SCH to decide which would be better for specific situations. Maybe you need a stronger regen to get people up before the next raidwide. Maybe a longer regen to help heal thru a DoT effect.
    Fey Illumination could literally just be inverted in its effect for each fairy. Eos provides more healing and a small mitigation buff, while Selene offers more mitigation and a small healing buff.
    Finally, let's adjust Fey Blessing to be a Heal or Shield based on the fairy. Heal for Eos, Shield for Selene.

    These are just surface level changes but they would grant SCH some small level of complexity without taking anything away from the job.

    Just those 2 changes would make the jobs feel different to play, if only mildly and wouldn't take away from their roles as healers.
