Actually, the only people I hear complaining about SCH are SCHs who want their fairy to do 100% automated healing.

SCHs are damn near idiot proof, they're much easier to manage with MP and threat, their fairy will continue healing while they move, and they can mitigate a lot of damage on AoE big hits. (Ever seen the difference between an Earthen Fury with a Sacred Soil + Succor and without? Yeah)

I've seen all of two people complain about SCH, and they were both SCHs who wouldn't use rouse ever, would never coordinate fairies (Two Selenes, always, ugh), never busted out anything but energy drain, etc.

Only thing SCH can't do as well as WHM currently is burst heals. Everything else SCH is better at. :P
