SCH does it's job well enough and it is by no means a hindrance to your team. It heals enough and provides enough damage you won't struggle with DPS checks. Hell, AST, despite being the top healer by a pretty wide margin atm, is tied for least played class in the game.

Balance wise, the healers are fine enough, at least in my opinion, what I don't think is fine is how they play. SCH/WHM are boring as hell with nothing to do but spam glare/broil, and AST has a card system that I'm sure is to give me carpal tunnel (which is probably why only 10 people play that class) unfortunately those issues aren't so easy to fix as just changing a few numbers, so I doubt we'll see them this expansion.
I do agree, someone has to be the worst. I think what threw sch into the fire was the neutral sect. You have a pocket sch shields that you use when you need it, for the rest of the time you are better. Even if sch stay the worst, I think its possible to tighten this gap, either for the dps side or for the healing side a bit more.
