Having SCH start independantly at lvl 30 would help a little with having more flavor than the mandatory CNJ/WHM in the early game (and no, AST doesn't count because you have to go all the way to HW to unlock it, even if it starts at 30 too.)
I think we had this argument about SCH/SMN being tied to ACN a long, long time ago. I don't think they've found a way to decouple the two yet without resetting one or the other, but generally before Lv 30 Physick still has usage due to how HP values are still low. Once you get to 30, you just choose to either swap to a Healer or go along with DPS still.
