Excuse me for thinking that ASTs should only be stronger than WHM when they:
Keep perfect uptime
Cast near-zero healing GCDs
Draw mostly melee arcanum, or have a BLM in the party
Overcome the odds of RNG and get 3 seals for every divination
Align divination perfectly with other raid buffs
Align card-usage with party members’ burst phases and buffs

And most importantly-

Have a party that is good enough to make the most of your buffs.

Versus WHM’s:
Stay still unless you have to move
Make the most of every Afflatus skill (movement, weaving, etc)
Cast Misery in buff windows.
