HPS is absolutely a terrible measure. The messier a run and the less mitigation your group uses, the more you need to heal and the better your HPS. If a WHM spams Cure III immediately when damage happens and a Sage lets their HoT's and oGCD's do the work, the Sage will have bad HPS and the WHM won't. Many top healers will end a run with grey logs on healing, despite 0 deaths, simply because the group played efficiently. Sage has quite a lot of free oGCD's and can heal for free for longer before being forced to dip into GCD's.

Not saying Sage needs a nerf though, SCH and AST are comparatively more than fine when it comes to heal toolkit. If anything WHM needs a buff, because it's far behind.
