You'll have to forgive me for assuming that, when you said your wish for healers is 'change 3, leave one as is', that meant that WHM would be completely untouched. Adding back Aero 3 (and not just as 'it does dia but in an aoe', but as 'a seperate second dot timer to manage') would be 'touching' it, right?

Just because WHM got improvements, it's a far outcry from actually being "good" when you look at its state as a whole. It's just serviceable.
Exactly, with SHB, if we were to assign 'out of 10' scores, we could say WHM went from a 2/10 to a 4/10, SCH from a 8/10 to a 5/10 and AST from a 8/10 to a 3/10 (cos its healing potencies on launch sucked bad). The fact WHM went up from a 2 to a 4 is an improvement yes, but it's still only a 4/10, there's a lot more work that needed to be done. It could have been eg a 7/10 if the only change was adding the better lilies and making the MP cost changes, but they counteracted those changes with 'oh also you are down to just one nuke one dot. Like AST, but without the Card system that partially justifies AST having that'.
