It feels like in endgame content, they are rendered mostly pointless as AST and WHM can give shields/reduce raid wide damage respectively with much less effort and resources while bringing a lot to the table.
If it helps, don't think of AST as being better at shields compared to SCH. While it is true that AST has slightly higher shields compared to SCH, that's mostly to offset that SCH does have the faerie. And potency-wise the shield aren't that far off from one another. SCH's biggest strength and weakness is the faerie, because she acts like a turret. So SCH can heal from greater and safer distances. But the faerie, in her current form, doesn't account for certain things SCH lacks compared to the other healers, like a first tier AoE healing spell or a second tier single target one, and why can't Succor just be 200 potency already? There are so many little bits that need to be addressed. Hopefully SE sees that.
