If healing actually did matter and healing rotations were actually a thing SCH would be as much of a mess to play as SMN was in SHB.
I truly believe that in 8.0 SCH will have a SMN style rework which completely removes the fairy as a pet and turns it into something we just have to have out to use abilities because the devs are making the same mistakes with SMNs design but with SCH in healing.
There are no mistakes being made with SCH design. Aetherflow Energy Drain heal choice (as you describe) is a core fundamental element of the class that involves thought and is incredibly enjoyable to play with. Scholar is extremely responsive now, any issue you have with it feeling clunky is likely a skill issue. If you want it reworked just play Sage and stop whining about a class you don't play.
