The fact that SCH have a fairy is enough reasoning not to bring Noc AST, but even without fairy SCH would probably be better than Noc AST as an off healer.
Being the best healer out of the 3 doesn't mean OP, there has to be one healer on top and at the moment it's SCH. But like I've said before, the current raid meta focuses a lot on DPS so obviously the healer that specialises in DPS contribution will shine. It wouldn't be fair to allow AST to have the same DPS capabilities while they can buff and heal too. You can't ask for everything, unless you actually want further homogenization of the roles?

For the record I have played all three healers in savage, including Noct. AST, and we had no problems even with lower level gear. Yeah it's no SCH, but it's far from 'trash'.
