That's a long way of saying SCH takes skill to execute properly. It also helps when your teammates aren't going the wrong way and taking you down with them.The kit fights itself. If you use Dissipation, you're locked out of all Fairy healing. If you Fey Union, having the fairy use anything else cancels it. If you use Seraph, you're locked out of Dissipation, Fey Blessing, and Fey Union. Seraph can also ghost skills and put them on cooldown.
If SCH dies with Dissipation and Aetherflow just being used, you come back with at least 50s without any AF stacks. Meaning Sacred Soil, Lustrate, Excog, and Indom are all unusable outside of the one Recitation cast for the next 50s. Fey Union gauge is also lost. You have to resummon your fairy quickly. You are essentially dead weight as a healer for those 50s.
If WHM/AST/SGE dies, what do you lose? WHM you lose the lilies, meaning you've lost only 2 heals and have everything else. AST you only lose your seals for your own card buffs.
SGE you lose access to Druochole (Lustrate equivalent), Kerachole (Sacred Soil equivalent), and Ixochole (Indom equivalent), and Taurochole (10% mitigation and 700 potency heal, no SCH equivalent). If you have Rhizomata (gives you a single stack of Addersgall) ready, you have a single use of any of those. How long are you waiting to use one of those normally? 20 seconds. TWENTY SECONDS.
SCH is the only healer that has to fight its own kit, and is actively punished by death worse than the other healers. These are issues we have had for many expansions now, issues that still need fixing.
