Cure 3s regen factor is larger making certain content less intense. But an Astro properly playing can keep pace entirely even missing the extra regen, but it does sometimes mean you need one extra GCD to cover. Likewise if your run Scholar+Astro you loose the Mind bonus WHM brings. There are a few other factors which white mage bring in secondary skills but I concur, the line between Whitemage and Astro is getting very fine. Note that EVEN if white mages are behind at this point. There is still a stigma on most servers that Astro's filling for white mages is subpar!
