It felt the same with SCH too (not tried with WHM yet) and when I was unable to barely dps I now can at pretty much the same rate as stormblood healing, no doubt because of better gear and slight buffs.

So was their aim to make healing harder or to put people off healing at all?

AST handling wall to wall especially with a tank that doesn't have the level relevant gear in 70-78 is an incredibly painful experience. The healing throughput is simply not there and most tanks will probably die if you tell them to pull everything or don't tell them to do the opposite. Yet as SCH it's absolutely fine yet you'd think that'd be the one to struggle the most.

This is such an easy thing to fix. Give the 2second charge of Essential Dignity earlier please SE!

Having played AST through 70-80 before the 5.05 fixes, it's really not that bad.
