AST is more of a happy medium than a comparable class to SCH. Its definitely in a much better place than WHM and WHM would need a buff to catch up to it especially after the Malefic cast time reduction and CU becoming instant.

I think WHM and SCH should be brought in line with AST rather than AST and WHM being brought up to SCH if for the sake of retaining the difficulty of the current tier than anything else. This means SCH losing some damage and WHM gaining it.
Why are these things still being discussed? The parallels have been addressed and deciphered. Healer balance is good, it's damn near perfect compared to the other balances. Most of the issues any healer has, and they all have them, are within their personal kit.

And why is their DPS still a "factor", it's already been explained why their DPS is "high" during raids.
