I think healers deserve to have at least more than double their current amount of dps skills (10-12 in number). While Squeenix and the casuals of FFXIX enjoy preaching the gospel of the pure healer, as long as this game remains as easy and as predictable as it is, there is no need for one ( pure healers should also f*** off from PvP).

As for the matter of Scholar, in my opinion, the best way to the Job interesting would be to build MORE on the pet factor, with both of them gaining access to Spirit Magic from FF: tactics ( Selene gets Dps skills and Eos gets utility and healing spells) which could be tied to the fey gauge. The Scholar himself should have on the other hand, have a proper core ability build in which i name just analysis here (placeholder name), which allows the Scholar to cast his Spells from the Fairies Position (Line of sight doesn't need to be maintained) which would last for arround 30 seconds or so (5 Min Cooldown) while having additionally spells that influence the offensive spirit magic spells from the Fairy and DoTs/debuffs for the Scholar himself.
