You realize that doesn't make sense right?

I'm also not sure how healers being generic doesn't feel Final Fantasy- healing's always been pretty straight forward in FF games, heck for the most part it's solely white mages and items that do healing.
Just healing has never been the identity of SCHs in this game. Imagine having sunk hundreds of hours into something you love doing to get to level cap, gear up, etc., and then having that transformed into something you have no interest in playing, forcing you to start from scratch. I’m sure SE did a great job with most of this expansion. I’ve heard great things about the story, and I can’t wait to play it. But as a player who hasn’t reached those quests yet, it feels like I just paid $60 (+ decent monthly sub) for a downgrade.

And AST... AST is worse.

I don’t think this whole expansion is a wash by any means, but I completely understand why the OP is so upset.
