Actually they can do a lot of different things with their amazing skills. Party topped, ready to dps or heal the tank. Notice that we're talking about raid progression here. Trivial encounters like extreme primals can be easily solo-healed by every healer if your party is good enough.

So you're saying an AST should not use 2 of the 5 healing skills he/she has access to. Why not just solo-heal the fight if that's the case? :P
Raid progression is part of the reason why I'm asking for other people to try this out. My AST is only 52, and I really want feedback from people who don't mind taking some time to try it out to try Noct+SCH or Diurn+WHM. This is not a thread about if WHM or SCH are better option, we already know that they've got a really strong kit that meshes well with other healers. The SCH + WHM combo don't have just indomitability and assize. They've got a lot of other spells and abilities they can use. By listing out what tools an AST + SCH have, I was attempting to show GeekMatt that the duo do have the tools necessary to bring a party back up to snuff.

Now, here's where I sound rude, because you missed the key word I used for that sentence. That being override. I did not say the AST shouldn't use their skills that provide shields, I'm saying the AST has some common sense and knows not to use AB or AH when Galvanize is up. If the AST sees Galvanize go down, they're more than welcome to use either AB or AH to save the SCH from having to do it. Especially if there are multiple players who're low on health and the SCH is busy bringing tanks back up, and the fairy won't get to them immediately.
