No as we already have many heals that aren't needed under many circumstances, so what is your reason for adding new healing skills? Why would this feel satisfying?

2. Two of the healing classes (including your healing main) are the same as what's written in 1, but the other two healing classes get all the changes you personally have wanted to see...they're just not in your current main. Again, not an option. How are you going to pick which ones to change? Will it be one pure and one barrier? If so, that could force someone into only one choice of pure and barrier healer. Or- maybe it's going to be the new healer (sage) and the least popular healer (AST). Well sucks if those happen to be your main healers.

Not really a viable approach. I am more allowing change to be introduced into all four healers so that the skill floor is forgiving but it allows someone who want to have more challenge, can have those options.
With respect, could you re-read my question? I think you may have misunderstood it. Because the question was about choosing between two less than ideal situations, in an effort to better see from a different perspective.
