Why are healers losing protect and esuna as default? that makes no sense at all. (and maybe losing mp recovery tool and dive seal?) does this make AST too op with synergy on top of it?
Easily. I suspect Blood for Blood was taken away because Bard and Machinist wound up doing more damage than even the melee jobs. It's insane what both were capable of when paired with a Dragoon.

As for role skills. It will come down to communication between your co-healer in a static setting. If the White Mage takes Esuna and Protect, the Scholar doesn't have to. For all other content, it really doesn't matter. Dungeons and normal mode equivalent raids/trials have always been a joke. Extremes and Savage generally require some strategizing, which this enforces. The one concern I do have though is... how badly will this impact pugging higher tier content?
