As per the OP, here is my idea on what to do with WHM

Here is my idea on what to do with SGE

(the SCH and AST ones can be ignored they kinda suck)

WoW is different than FFXIV with wild disparities in balance and DPS and even some specs not being welcome in content. But it allows for this because its Trinity is far less rigid than FFXIV's is, and it was even more freeform in the past, with Vanilla flirting with having a full on buffing/Support role.

Ironically, on the PTR at the moment you can try a new spec, which is in fact entirely support focused. I don't know the exacts of it, but from what I've heard about Augmentation Evoker, it's actual personal dps is roughly 40% that of a regular DPS, and 60% of it's output comes from it's buffing allies. It's got skills like 'you buff the nearest 4 allies' primary stat with a percentage of your own primary stat for X seconds', and then a bunch of interactions that extend that buff so you refresh it less often. Kinda like 'Iron Jaws'-ing it. And it's got an AOE version of Wildfire, which every party member can contribute to (not just yourself), AND every skill that is used on it is considered to have crit for the sake of calculating the total compiled damage (so it's not going to noodle and feel bad)

I hope it turns out to be a rousing success for them. If anyone's interested to look, the talent tree gives a good overview of what it's capable of and how it plays

edit: turns out it'd be better to watch a video about it, the levelling passives and mastery are pretty important to the gameplay too and they're not mentioned in the talent tree
