What dps/utility buttons old or new would you add to your healer?

It's not as unlikely as you may think. Now that Misery is DPS neutral, in fact it's DPS positive in burst windows, using lilies for movement tech is much more viable. If needed they can add seraph strike or something akin to it where they only teleport/jump to allies as a gap closer and give Thin Air a Triplecast effect. Not to mention Aero/Dia refresh exists for another instant GCD. Given the common complaints that White Mage's arsenal is super barren, it wouldn't be that difficult to add more movement helpers if needed.

Perhaps using lore as an argument wasn't a good idea on my part, especially now that I think of it they killed Selene and Nocturnal Sect so I suppose lore is kind of out the window at this point. That is unless in 7.0 the team turns a new leaf and returns Selene, Nocturnal Sect and brings White Mage back to its "defender of the forest" roots. Just because White Mage is going back to its priest roots from previous games doesn't mean it's a good thing. It worked for previous installments with the strategic group turn-based combat so White Mage would have to focus on heals, cleanses, etc. In this type of game though, White Mages need to play a more active role to work properly and maybe this is subjective, but the priest/druid mix of white mage is arguably the best rendition of the job especially when you realize that the job initially was dropped into the franchise because they needed a "priest class" like the other RPGs. You could argue it's the same as WoW's Resto Shaman and I know White Mage has been spiced up throughout the franchise, but FF14 White Mage being a perfect mirror to Black Mage in terms of its elements (Fire/Earth, Lightning/Air, Ice/Water, Dark/Light) just fits so well, design wise.
