I really think AST should be a Heal-Over-Time or Reactionary/Time-Delay healer.

Diurnal sect would make heals HoTs while Noctournal sect would turn them into reactionary (Buff has X stacks and lasts for a long time, upon taking damage target loses a stack and gets a heal. When 0 stacks or time runs out, buff fades) healer or time delay (like Earthly Star)

This would give SE and the AST more opportunity to do things with their cards while the healing is being taken care of over a duration. Also duration extending abilities would work on their heals which just makes this type of healing make even more sense for them.
I love this idea. The time Delay aspect of Spells would also play into the "Time Mage" feel that AST has as an underlying theme mixed with it's tarot/star magic. This would make the AST identity play much differently than WHM and SCH and would make the playstyle much more interesting. This would also make WHM a more viable option for endgame content because it would be the only Majority HoT/Direct Heal Healer.
