While AST has cleared A1S with WHM partner and may be in a better place then people make it out to be, in no way would or should you see double AST even if the healing was on par with WHM in one sec and SCH in the other. The same way you do not see double WARs, healers work better with two different healers. Right now the preferred combo is WHHM/SCH and most groups are not taking AST at all. The only success I have seen is WHM/AST however which shows that AST cannot handle being a primary healer and only WHM right now seems to be able to. Not that I think AST needs to heal like a WHM and SCH in each sect, just that in no way would you make the other healers obsolete. Also the play style is completely different between the three classes, with SCH being the most different with the pet and the raw dps and healing of the WHM.
