You see this top SCH? He has 26 Miasma II casts, compared to 5 Ruin II casts. It is better to minimize Ruin II count because Miasma II is such an impactful gain.
Ok, fair point about M2. But when I said 'on par' I wasn't talking about DPS levels. But there's more to the healer jobs than the DPS levels. On that same FFlogs source you link (and the top spot for any job on the site)... you notice how they're being fed arrows and balances? And if you go below the #1 spots, it even includes expanded arrows/balances.

And that is AST's strength. It makes other jobs shine; people love being buffed. But, your own DPS won't be so great.

Now, for SCH vs WHM... we saw all 3 healers used in o4s progression. We're seeing all 3 healers used in Unending Coil progression. But if SCH is so far ahead, why is this?

Granted, I'm interested to see what will happen in 4.2. If a healer falls behind then, then I think that may be the time to ask for buffs. But right now, people are picking healers for reasons other than top DPS contribution.
