My only concern with a huge nerf to shield healers is that they'll increase the dependency too much and end up with co-healers blaming each other for the wipe. I don't know about you, but I don't want my survival to a multi-hit stack mechanic to be entirely dependent on the competency of my co-healer. It was already annoying in Abyssos early prog where survival was entirely dependent on whether or not the melee decided to press Feint.

In the end, I would like to see a nerf to the pure healing of the designated shield healers, but not to the point where the party has to immediately wipe whenever one of the healers go down. Some overlap is fine, in my opinion. Like WHM has 1 free mitigation, the shield healers could do with 1 free pure heal.
I’d be fine if the shields pure healing basically amounted to how WHM handles mitigation

For example SCH can keep excog as the equivalent of aquaveil and can keep…..say whispering dawn and a nerfed indom on a longer CD as an equivalent to temperance but I honestly think that should be all

I’m fine to feel like I need to rely on the cohealer to have both of us be needed to survive abyssos just felt bad because 70% of the melee didn’t give a single f….. about pressing feint AND then proceeded to blame the healer anyway
