It doesn't matter what class Scholar comes from, they won't be doing another hybrid class again, and because it was hard for them to buff Summoner without buffing Scholar before HW.

Main-healer DPS is an advantage in some places end-game over Scholar. Whether it's A6S Mirages, or even Swindler adds because Scholar doesn't have a stun skill. Even back at Gordias Savage in A3S some groups had WHM do burst stone damage for the Equal Concentration hand DPS check, and the Scholar would solo heal the tanks. It was a pretty tight check at i200. Scholar has bane action so obviously they were the king of A2S DPS for-example.

It's not my only opinion out there, but I personally believe it's a better raid healing combo when you get away from the main/off healer notion. Instead of the strictly a solo healer and a half-DPS healer, you can use both healers cooldowns and abilities to the raid's advantage for examples like the above.
