Generally, these posts are to do with the classes performance in end-game raiding with a stable group and people who know how to play.

As such, AST's mana issues become negated by the fact that you'll always have a BRD for Refresh and sometimes will even have a BLM for Mana Shift. Thus, AST starts to outperform WHM due to Card buffs being so much better than what WHM brings especially when you have competent DPS players to put Balance/Spear on.

Outside of such content, WHM isn't particularly bad. It does have some good tools in its kit for mana sustain, oGCD heals as well as some nice AoE burst healing and HoTs. But again, this isn't where many discussions around classes are based. It's usually always top end content raiding, where everyone knows the mechanics and you have the ideal raid composition, wherein WHM just doesn't offer enough to make them competitive to AST/SCH whom have much more team utility via damage boosts.
