Having played AST in the current content, I'm not so sure I agree. WHM sustain is very, very strong now, yes. But AST's MP is not exactly unforgiving. I can toss out supershields and resses at will and still have MP to spare. The shields in particular make mechanics we've seen so far very forgiving.

I do think AST+WHM will be the way to go for huge recovery potential. If/When SE buffs SCH... then I suspect people will want balance + stratagem/fey wind more than resses + more resses. (And, of course, RDM can instacast every res...)
