I'm sorry but this is just not true. The only thing separating D.AST and WHM is cure III. D.AST is every bit as good as a WHM. It successfully fills the role of a main healer, but while also adding it's own support and mitigation.

Not to mention they have better MP management which means longer times DPSing and longer healing time.
If anything WHM is the one that's lacking. It can only heal and it's DPS is subject to acc issues and MP issues.
It's heals all cost a bucket ton of MP even though it's 1:1 potency with AST heals. One of its emergency heals, Benediction, is so inconsistent because of its animation time that it can barely function as a emergency heal. Not to mention it's on a HUGE CD even though essential dignity can achieve similar effects if it crits.
