Don't misunderstand me, I don't much care for the cards now either, but throwing the ole rose colored goggles on doesn't help anyone.
bole not being needed would be due to encounter design, arrow was unliked mostly because of tp burn, or short dps windows. But really, most of the stuff you are complaining about is high end stuff, where, even with your beefs, Astro was still an in demand Savage healer. Now it is not, and its less entertaining for most people. Sounds like a very bad trade off in every way.
