I don't really think regens, no matter how they are accessed or how powerful they are makes any of the healers niche. And the same can be said about shields. All of the healers have access to these one way or the other, and their power and ease of access does very little to diversify the healers.

It isn't sudden that healers are homogenized. They've been this way for some time now. What's sudden is your realization that SGE doesn't really stand out from WHM. Your argument over having the superior HoT only strengthens that, as WHM is already well established as having proficient HoT ability regardless if it is better or worse than SGE.

I can understand if the point is difficult to comprehend when you are trying to create an argument where there isn't one. Unless you're trying to make a point that SGE is niche in someway. If it is, it's not through their HoT ability. They do have a gap closer though. That's pretty niche, and it is quite useful for the SGE. I can give them that.
You are reaching a long way of you think “niche” means that you didn’t mean what you proceeded to elaborate on for the rest of your original post but let’s say it does say that then you aren’t really answering what comment I made that you are replying to

And the other healers have defined niches, SGE’s is movement shielding and mitigation, SCH’s is shields and totem healing, AST is damage buffs and time delayed heals, WHM has nothing to compare to any of those useful niches
