In 3.0, I stopped playing WHM in raids because it felt like I was purposely handicapping my party. AST could (and still can) do everything I could do, but offer more. So why am I playing WHM? That's the feeling you have when the power gap is so huge as it is now.
Are you for real? AST was a train wreck for early 3.0 progression. If you were holding your raid back in Gordias as a WHM then it was your playing ability that was at fault, not your choice of job.

As far as things stand at the moment, personally I'm seeing the best results with WHM/AST, but I suspect that's as much to do with me being much more comfortable playing WHM over the 4.0 changes to AST as anything else. As much as I love padding and pocketing my DPSers, WHM's brute force gameplay just works for me.

Logs aren't far off, that'll help clarify the current state of play.
