OP, although your idea sounds good, what AST really needs now is time to prove itself in the new raid environment to those who just write the class off. Hopefully midas will show those naysayers what AST is capable of. I know i intend to be starting that raid cycle as an AST.
Calling it right now - even if AST is successful in Midas, there will (unfortunately) be naysayers that will then say "But Midas is nerfed compared to Gordias!"

...I really do hope AST can be successful in Midas and there won't be any rhetoric like the above >>; Time will tell.
