Personally I did not like the healer design in WoW very much, especially the rule that you would have to stand around doing nothing for 5 seconds until your MP starts regenerating was a killjoy.
Regardless, here's another idea: Similarly to PvP, create designated kits for High-End content.
The problem of the 9? years of baggage this game has, limits future design choices to "more of the same" if you do not want to break anything. More of the same has been the answer for so long, it has become the expectation. It's a dead, uninnovative end from what I have seen in ShB and EW.

One alternative is to break things and fix them afterwards. The other is to create a new environment separate from the previous.
The first seems to be not what Square usually does, at least the fixing part. Just have a look at how T7S is barely manageable with today's toolkits. Not really broken but neglected is all the synced content that just gets easier (dps-wise) by every expansion's power swell.

A seperate toolkit for high-end content could be a solution. Maybe it could be stable per expansion as to keep balancing over the course of the years.
