Honestly, I've never felt this pressure. I've only received one complaint, and it was from a DPS who was unhappy that I hadn't used a card on him specifically (it was a series of ewers, spears, and a single bole that run).
I believe that, if you're just fishing for the Balance, you're wasting your party's potential, and you're failing to perform a function that an Astrologian can perform really well: helping jobs feel special. Especially as of this expansion, each job has a card or two that's really useful to them. For Samurai, it's the Balance. For Bards, the Arrow (shocking, right?). For Summoners, the Spear (surprise, Bahamut likes these).
I would say, just try to emphasize each job's individuality, and avoid thinking only about "efficiency," because, in the end, DPS is not supposed to need you to succeed anyway.
