You can say that with just about any other job that can burst. That sort of set up can be counter played with more damage shields/mitigation through the form of divine veil, testudo or defense buff, nor do you want it necessarily ignore the WHM even if he has defense buff because then they'll be able to throw out CCs on you.

And as a side thing, the tiers should be taken relative to each other jobs in their respective roles, due to the format forcing you to have those roles anyway. Really can't do direct comparisons to WHM:BRD (I can kill the WHM easily as a BRD), compared to WHM:SCH (my BRD can kill a WHM much more easily than I can kill a SCH),
