None of those things are really a class issue, more of a mechanic thing.
"poor raid DPS" - While not exactly the high, it's not poor either.
"accuracy" - This is more on Square-Enix's mechanic design:
1) For some reason Bio, Bio II and Shadowflare requires no accuracy, but a giant explosion of light can actually miss while you're right on top
2) Accuracy isn't readily available bar some very minor numbers on every piece. Unless resorting to crafted gear, neither healer can reach the accuracy cap for the harder content. But this applies to both healers. Scholars simply don't need accuracy to deal decent damage - They'll want it to deal good damage, though.
"overhealing" - And this is more of a player's fault, rather than the class fault. Overhealing will always be there. Be it on Scholar or on White Mage. It's higher on Scholar in some cases, where the scholar's the type that shields everything before impact.
