I still agree with mostly everything you said about AST, SMN and SCH, but this one bit, I must disagree with.

Its hard to pick out a "best healer" due to all healers shining in different aspects in PvP- and then breaking it down further into different scenarios (4v4, 8v8, 72-man chaos, etc.) AST is simply the most potentially tankiest healer, and mobile healer, only slightly above SCH in both respects (which I daresay, has more features that make it a more likely candidate for a "best healer" in PvP). Kyani outlined exactly what makes AST look "broken" and a "noob trap;" the problem is that many players (specifically, DPS) seen AST shrug off assaults that may have worked against shield-less WHMs and cry foul when in reality healers are tanky period- its just that WHM is a hell of a lot squishier than the other 2(in return for larger healing potential)and a lot of players hold healers to this standard of kill-ability for whatever reason.

Personally, I love the stigma of players thinking it takes a full party to kill one AST; it just goes to show the quality of most FL players.
