Well AST regardless of the Sect will have "minimal" function of the other one through Collective Uncounscious, that both shields and regens, with a longer CD though. But AST's strength currently is Earthly Star, Essential Dignity and cards (with Time Dilatation, Opposition included), and Regens because Noct Ast is not too interesting. Anyway, its identity is covering several aspects.
SCH also has several identities because being specialized in one would make it a bit too boring I guess. I don't think that's a problem for SCH, it's even a strength.

And as Bobsmiaw says, WHM just throws rocks. And it's not even it's power because both SCH and AST outDPS WHM in a raid context.
