Players fully expect your comp to be sufficient to get plenty of Cleric Stance uptime. But N.AST/WHM is more of a strictly healing setup. You can't get better healing value than these two together, and if we're talking strict healing almost no Cleric Stance this technically is the superior pairing. But that's not what players want. And I'm not sure if SE understands that or not.

I know Yoshi said he wanted content that doesn't require healer DPS, but players still fully expect that and will optimize to ensure we have the easiest time running off to Cleric Stance every other tank buster. Either Yoshi embraces this style of play, completely squashes it in 4.0 or ignores it and keeps watching comps like N.AST+WHM fall flat is up to him I suppose.
