Are you serious?
WHM has constantly had to give away parts of its toolkit every expansion to SCH/AST. From Protect, to Divine Seal, to Shroud of Saints, to Cleric Stance, even f$%^ing Repose, had to be shared. What room did WHM have to grow in SB? The Lily System was universally panned for its poor execution. They didn't get any new DPS spells. Divine Benison and PI had many issues with them. The only saving grace of SB was Thin Air and you couldn't build on that. Had SE given WHM the current Lily System in SB instead of a dumpster fire, maybe they could have expanded on it back then before they murdered everyone but that isn't the timeline we live in.

SE shot themselves in the foot with Healer design but instead of fixing it, they've allowed it to bleed out.
