I really like some of the things that were put into the patch, but I too feel like SE is trying to pigeon hole the CON class into WHM. The best part of the class system is the ability to "play" how you want. This is still true for solo content, however as I quickly learned last night that is not the case for the 45 instanced dungeon. I am not sure that it was needed to put curega/II into the game if they wanted to up the MP cost it would have been better to just do so if you were AOE healing/nuking/debuffing/buffing etc. It does appear that at least for the mage classes SE is trying to pigeon hole the mage classes into specific roles when in party setup.
