Using a Healing Per Second parser to "parse healing"... I'm sorry. We aren't dps. If we are keeping the party alive, that's what matters. Not a parser.

I play both WHM and AST. Sometimes, I feel WHM is better. Sometimes I feel like I can do better as AST.
The fact is, there are two other healers that can do much more than "keep the party alive".

AST offers buffs, mitigation and has a near unlimited resource of MP.
SCH offers a fairy with a full toolkit of useful abilities and high mitigation.
WHM offers Cure III, the strongest Aoe heal in the game, but also the shortest ranged heal in the game.

Compare the usefulness of all that. WHM is the only healer that simply stops at healing while other go on to offer a ton more. It's a problem.
