If Savage Alex is tuned to be with the healing from AST/OtherHealer, then WHM/SCH can duo-heal the fight easily enough to output at least 200-400 DPS ontop of keeping the party alive whereas an AST likely won't be able to DPS at all.

Therefore the cards either have to make up for 200-400 DPS throughout the entire fight (which they currently don't) or the AST needs to be able to heal well enough to go into Cleric Stance and DPS....which likely won't be possible because of MP issues.

This also doesn't address the fact that Noct Stance is almost completely useless compared to Diurnal because the only real benefit of Noct is 5% more potency, which is lost when you factor in how much healing a Diurnal AST gets from 3 different regen abilities.
