Are role actions a nerf?

[Hamada]

The healer role actions are
Cleric stance
Break
Protect
Esuna
Lucid dream
Swiftcast
Eye for an eye
Mystery skill with the divine seal icon
Surecast
Rescue

As a white mage I can already have at least 6 of these at once. Possibly 7 or 8 if the skill with the divine seal icon is replacing it, and/or if lucid dream is a replacement for shroud of saints (the icon looks similar and shroud is not on Yoshi's hotbar). Once role actions are added I will have to choose between 5 of them.

I'm not sure what the point of making people choose from these skills is. Rescue is literally a joke skill that will never be worth taking. Why would they create a scenario where your healer in Dun Scaith can't Esuna the Doom off you, but they can pull you out of the meteor circles? Do they think we don't have enough troll players?

This is a concern of mine tbh. I mean it is a nice idea, my friend was talking to the other "Oh now you can bait aoes and stand there as you dps and I can pull you out of it so you have more DPS uptime. hopefully it is a "beta" and give us more then 5 for level 70

One friend is concern about no raging strikes but thinks the new ability is a combination of raging + quelling.
What about brd without blood for blood and inner release?
^ for mch + hawkeye?
will there be changes as far as how much damage things do? will there be more balance for AoE damage?
