Even if you have Lustrate, outside of that SCH lack raw healing power to keep up on excessive damage.
Benediction is on a on a 5 minute cooldown and is meant for emergencies, where as Lustrate can be used up to 3 times a minute and is off the GCD. They really shouldn't even be compared. You're also forgetting that we have a fairy to help compliment our healing, and can get a +40% boost from Rouse if need be (which is kind of similar to Divine Seal in a way). Adioquium also has an effective rate of 600 due to its shield (which doubles on a crit), and that shield helps cushion the hits.

I'm not saying Scholar is the better main tank healer, but they definitely have the tools to do it very well.
