Not true because Deploy exists. SCH is considered the strongest barrier healer for endgame, having both superior dps and stronger mitigation. If you buffed Adlo, Deploy would be even more ridiculously good. Succor also has 100 more heal than Eprog (which can matter for things like E tactics).

Sage is "comfier" to play than SCH, which is a perk of the job, but in optimized situations SCH is better. That said, a 1.5 sec cast on both GCD shields would be perfectly fair.
