Lots of Hots for a shield class. Is that a mistake? Are those meant to be shields?

Not really, otherwise you have a powerhouse shield stacking job and that's pretty broken for skipping mechanics. Instead, Sage seems to be a job that specializes on DPS to heal, but whereas it doesn't have as many shields as SCH, it has a decent number of mitigation sources. However, most of the heals are very weak (like physick potency weak) but subject to change.

So what they didn't explain much is that Cardia is a skill that targets a partner and assigns both you and the target to be healed whenever you do a DPS attack. This lasts infinitely, but the heal is pretty minor.
This is your main 'sustain' like a SCH's pet.

Unlike other jobs, Sage doesn't have as many potent oGCDs since they are a GCD-heavy job. They are:
Soteria - Ability - doubles healing effectiveness of Cardia for 10 secs - 90 sec cd.
Physis - Ability - an aoe regen of 100 cure potency for 21 secs - 60 sec cd
Holism - Ability - 300 cure potency AoE - 60 sec cd
Physis II - Ability - 200 AoE heal, grants 10% increased healing potency
Icarus - Ability - 45 sec cd Dash
Pepsis - Ability - heals AoE only if target is under Eucrasia Diagnosis (450) or Eucrasia Prognosis (350) - 15 secs cd.

Then you have 4 abilities based on your gauge spender - which is similar to WHM in charging up, but generates MP after using one. (That's 3,4,8, and 11).

All the other skills are spells (GCD) that rely on you to do damage to heal with the passive effect - healing only 2 targets (you and the partner).

A couple of them have their own CD as a GCD:
Pneuma - 1.5ish cast time? Heal allies hit by beam for 400 potency and give 10% mitigation. - 120 sec cd, heals Cardia ally by 170 potency.
Phlegma III - Instant cast, 510 potency on first enemy hit, 50% on remaining enemies, 45 sec cd, 2 charges, heal Cardia ally by 170 potency.

Eucrasia - 1 sec recast, strengthens next Prognosis, Diagnosis, or Dosis into their Eucrasia counterparts. (Reinforce skill)
Dosis III - Spell - 1.5 sec cast timer, 330 potency hit. +170 potency heal to Cardia partner.
Prognosis - Medica equivalent - 300 potency heal.
Diagnosis - Cure Equivalent - 450 potency heal. 1.5 sec cast time

Eucrasia Dosis III - DoT 70 potency for 30 secs, 170 potency heal to Cardia partner. - Instant cast time, 1.5 sec recast
Eucrasia Diagnosis - Heal + Shield
Eucrasia Prognosis - AoE Heal + Shield

Toxicon II - Instant cast 330 potency with 50% on remaining AoE, heals Cardia target for 170 potency - used under a certain buff?
Dyscrasia II - Deals dmg to enemies around self by 170 potency, heals Cardia target by 170 potency - regular AoE
