WHM getting progressively more unnecessary in content?

[Roll]

I dont think the raid population is large enough to base basically everything off of them. I hope they do things for whm because I love whm, and I havent started astro yet because that will be my last class to level. But these treads are like always only considering raid content when not even half the games population even raids I dont really understand that.

Kind of missing the point. It's more along the lines of job balancing and there is an imbalance.
I don't want to see AST nerfed since they had it rough since 3.0 and they are finally in a good spot, I want to see WHM get something that makes up for the lack of cards, shields, fairy, mp regen, etc since all 3 healers are able to heal effectively.

Just a few ideas I see floating around:

Utility:
Devotion (Ability that was in FFXI): Sacrifice 25% of HP to give to a party member in MP
Esuna trait that has a chance to become aoe.

Mitigation (since no supervirus from Scholar or Disable from Astrologian):
Shell: Reduce magic damage by X% for 10 seconds for party members in range

MP:
Increase the amount of MP recovered from Shroud of Saints and/or Assize.
Stone trait that lets Stone spells have a chance to make the next Stoneskin instant and cost no MP

I have hope that SE will do something for WHM in 4.0 as they have said they want to focus on making jobs have their own uniqueness. We'll just have to cross our fingers and see.
