AST is already known to be receiving an overhaul, to whatever extent the devs have planned. I've said it before, but I'd like to see its cards become GCD, its casting focus transition to support, and have the cards additionally generate passive, Malefic-potency damage through a new gauge mechanic. This gives thou-shall-not-DPS healers a job that may still need to maintain Combust and throw a few DPS buttons out once in a while, but can redirect a lot of their focus to spreading buffs.
Although AST needs some tweaks, this would be far more painful that the current state. AST is interesting since it can buff , heal, and DPS with some mobility. Not be a buff-bot that is there solely to support others, and maybe once or twice, throw out a DPS skill.
