Raiding as AST

[Watachy]

Hi fellows healers,

Here is a post where i would like you to give me advices or your opinion on my question: Is AST a good healer for doing savage content ?

First of all, i want to excuse me if my english ain't that good, it's not a language i master so please, be patient ^^

Here is my story:
I switched from NIN to AST a few weeks ago , i discover the healer role and love it, i decided to go for the AST because i love the "support way" he has with his buffs and i love all the lore and weapons of this job.

So, let's get back to the main post, im actually on niddhog EX phase 4 (left it at 2% and 3% so he will be down in a few more tries) after that, we're gonna go for some savage content, Midas and the 3.4 new progression.

But here is the thing that makes me hesitating: we have no SCH, im paired with a WHM as co-healer.
Basically for niddhog' we've no problem since both our regen spells can stack, but for a lot of people not having a SCH in a raid/progression is a very bad thing, because, as you main know SCH is extremely powerfull.

We can't do a comparison between N.ASt (stance that i love to play, and will probably play in Savage) and SCH.

But do you guys think or know people that are raiding with a AST/WHM pair ?
My static is really cool and don't mind raiding without a SCH but im scared to not be as efficient as a SCH would be.

Any advice or opinions ?

Thanks fellows !
