You probably didn't get his point. He was simply saying that on strong and well geared dps, the usefulness of cards is higher in absolute terms. Of course, a 10% damage buff on a dps at 2400 dps is a higher dps increase than the same 10% on a dps doing 1800 dps.

Also, WHM aren't asking for too much. Right now, they're significantly less desirable than AST for any kind of relevant content. AST never was a jack of all trades, it was clearly an inferior choice in the past. The reason why AST is quite overpowered right now lies entirely in their buffs and mana refresh tools which are clearly unbalanced when compared with what whm has to offer and has nothing to do with healing capabilities. Speedkills on fflogs are proof of this fact. This race has basically reduced to "let's see what party is luckier when it comes to drawing balances".

I believe they decided to do this to redeem AST since it was in a bad place before the huge buffs to noct and balance/bole and that they intend to rework all the healers in the next expansion, but still, the situation right now is very skewed in favor of ast.
