For the other healers, I think SCH and AST could probably survive that situation as well, but with more effort needed (and I'm not sure if SCH would make it mana-wise). SGE would have (IMO) no chance in hell with the limited spells they have at that level (Kardia, Soteria, (E) Diagnosis, Physis, Druochole).

WHM has issues, definitely. But there's no need to downplay it's strengths either.
In those situations:
SCH has
  • Constant embraces
  • Whispering Dawn
  • Illumination, boosts fairy's Embrace & SCH's Adlos when needed.
  • Obviously Adlo itself and its critlo probability.
  • Three Lustrates. They heal great deal of health at that level range. Aetherflow is also keeping their MP healthy alongside Lucid.
  • Save when needing to Adlo, SCH can constantly slap the ground, helping the party to melt the mobs faster.

AST has
  • Essential Dignity. This heals tanks to almost, if not full at that level range when used properly.
  • Asp Benefic.
  • Asp Helios, which can be stacked on tank with Asp Benefic for the beefy regen, prolonging the 'safe period' where you can keep spamming Gravities.
  • Cards to buff DPSes & keeps their MP healthy if they need to start spamming Benefic II. If that's even needed at all.
  • Obviously Benefic II itself.

SGE has
  • Constant Kardion heals.
  • Soteria
  • Physis
  • Three Druochole, same deal with SCH's Lustrates. They will also very likely to gain the 4th in the same pull.
  • Their addersgall usage keeps their MP healthy.
  • Phlegma. Two strong AoE to help melt the enemies & is entirely mobile like their spammable AoE shower.
  • E.Diagnosis and its crit chance.

WHM has
  • Holy, coupled with PoM possibly.
  • Regen
  • Cure II
  • Freecure...?
  • MP? Just Lucid, nothing else.

Nobody's really "downplaying" WHM's capabilities, it's just how noticeable the stark disadvantage WHM have in that specific level range. No matter how you put it, WHM will always be the first healer who has to lose something sooner when compared to other healers.
