okay first way to solve this

sage-scholar should have bigger dps rotations
while ast and white mage should have more healer chances with encounters with less dps ability and honestly remove regen completely make them run off buffing and healing only, there you go....
3. People like current design add another healer that follows the current design they can just play that one.

there are 4 healer jobs and 3 times in your example no reason we couldnt cover all 3 with diffrent healers.
4. doesn't matter here tbh they dont like it in savage while others do like it solves itself

5. describe what you see as the proplem here, people have an issue with how many healers in it or not enough

The healer solution is you give all 3 exacly what they wish for in one or two of the healer jobs we have 4 and you listed three groupings

To make the two barrier healers be the ones with bigger dps kits they'll first need to get rid of the pure/barrier healer split since SGE stands as the 'simpler' job of the two. I think that's really as simple as returning Diurnal/Nocturnal Sect to AST. This should also give WHM a lot more breathing room too since they won't have to compete with AST for the pure healer slot in PF.

Diurnal AST's a regen healer to emphasize the time mage aspect of the job as well as giving it more spare time to do the card work it used to have (which they should return and put DT's card system on a new potion mixing job imo), so I don't see the need to remove them at all.

WHM can stand to be the 'simpler' healer like now if they have significantly better recovery tools than the others. Add an instant cast effect on Thin Air, shorten the CD on Benediction, maybe even give it a Reraise.

which they should have gotton rid of the pure barrier and regen system years ago honestly, its okay to have regens and barriers on healers however that shouldnt be the entire setting of a healer
