I did some level ninety trusts and had such a blast with astrologian regardless of the damage it did [but heals were so potent I was never worried about losing anyone], but I know I would feel more anxious about time if I were doing high-end content with real players, which I hope to progress to eventually.
I would agree that playing with trusts, an AST has plenty of heals so you don't have to worry on that count, however should you want to solo some content on an AST, depending upon what you want to do - even compared to the other healers, its personal damage is so low it can be a fairly miserable experience.
