I don't recall them addressing this problem, but maybe I missed it, hopefully one of you guys know.
If you allocate PIE instead both SMN and SCH benefit. SMN needs more MP/MP regen to sustain 100% uptime on longer fights and/or to conserve up to 6 aethers (saving 3 + CD for another 3) for bursting DPS checks. SCH needs the same for longer fights it's just not for DPS checks. If the fight isn't that long then you "SHOULDN'T" have an issue with either job no matter how you spec.
