Take that unnecessary fear away and just have healer spells scale off MND or something. It's a slight nerf from losing CS's 10% bonus, but I can't say that'll make or break much.
While Cleric Stance is a very unintuitive mechanic with all the stats swap, heal penalty and damage up shenanigans, it's also a very high-risk/high-reward concept that separate good players from the average Joe of FF XIV.
