We may need a draft of what type of DPS system each one should have.

According to Waxsw, we may be trying for a semi cooldown combo system for Sage.

Astrologian would be the simplest one by default due to the card system. Probably just needs an AoE DoT with Royal Road. Still need to decide which card buffs to use.

I know you said you would hate it Renathras, but a DoT mage sounds like a potential Scholar fate. The decision between manually Dotting all targets, or using Bane spreading with half pot DoTs. I imagine 4 targets will probably be the Bane point.

This leaves the White Mage. Currently, it is being compared to others for differentiation, but it will still have comparable buttons to what Astrologian has if we keep it the same. Pretty much just Afflatus Misery and Assize may feel different in that comparison.
Sorry, but this disagree with you there. Why, and how would that enhance solo play - if you believe that AST should see improvement in that area - which I do.

Not to mention, while you mention button count- why I can understand that there could be limitations in order to accommodate controller players- I could see "comparable" to WHM, however if AST has more that WHM, it would bother me at all. Not to mention I would still see it spamming its single DPS skill for much of the time in group content.

However if the devs started to improve the skill design, as a number of people have suggested, then probably some skills wouldn't even have separate buttons- with AST having a rework it would likely be the first to see this. I would expect the other healers to lag behind

edit - I posted this just before I saw your post regarding PLD, that's somewhat in the lines of what I'm referring to.
