I'm not seeing much for dps on Ast. I find that quite curious since the one dot/one nuke was an issue with ast since sb. The common sentiment being the cards were fun but the lack of dps buttons sucked, hence very few players doing solo things like fates or potd as ast.

Yet pvp ast has effectively rdm's doublecast but better. In a pve scenario, would that be stepping on rdm's toes a bit? the again i suppose that would be fair since rdm is 2 buttons from being a fully functional healer (aoe heal+esuna)
It's been mentioned, as running fates or potd or even solo NSQ in some cases as an AST can be misery even WHM is less painful. I don't see how it would "step on RDM toes" , I think it is a fair question to ask, however I would point out that summoners can raise - but they aren't healers, and swiftcast isn't unique to healers.
