It really isn't though. Utilizing 'all the tools' just means casting DoTs in the interim. Unless you're wasting time and MP with overcures, once your dots are up, there's literally nothing for you to do as a Scholar. Many of the secondary skills are all instant cast too, so again, there's not really much interaction there either.

White Mage DPS, on the other hand, relies on repeat casting of spells rather than fire and forget. Sure, we get some DoT's, but Stone II is a solid DPS spell. Scholar gets Ruin, sure, but it's considerably weaker so most of their damage still comes from DoT. Tell me again why Scholar isn't a 'lazy' job...
