Well "dominance" or meta can be paliated with numbers.

With this design the healers would essentially be doing the same thing in different ways. With better weaving tools WHM would see an increase in its own personal dps while maintaining an edge on healing potency. Plus, paired with SCH or AST she would benefit from buffs debuffs aswell.

SCH and AST would bring essentially the same potency increase. One is simply granted to party and the other is applied to single enemy (Which is the same as granting a buff to every player currently attacking said enemy.) Ofc their personal damage numbers would be adjusted as to be balanced with WHM's personal dps. I could see AST and SCH getting and edge over WHM in the case of very coordinated statics still. WHM would be a safer alternative to AST and SCH pairings.
