WHM can pull its weight just fine since the Lily change but it still remains a barebone healer devoid of identity or interesting mechanics.
I'm just baffled it took them almost 3 years to make such a simple change that has been asked for everywhere. Dps neutral Lilies were among the first thing people asked for in early ShB until now. Instead we were stuck with clip mage and dps loss Lilies for the whole ShB expansion. Makes me wonder how long it would take them to make WHM into a developed healer with its own identity if a simple change takes almost 3 years.
