Is there any hope for next expansion?

No.

If they not said anything, I can expect nothing will come out of it. That means that they didn't even planned how they'll give healers job identities.

I highly doubt that there will be a change that isn't incremental at best. There will be a new heal, a new update for an attack, a random skill and that's it.

Yoshi P said 2 years ago theres not problem with healers gameplay. While they also refuse to profide a DPS rotation.
He also said players should give healers a try. I guess he is the one who isn't giving it a try.
Don't have too much hope, you'll just get frustrated when the sad reality comes.

Haven’t there just been the vague mentions of job identity coming in 8.0, but not much detail about it?

Either they have to say more about what that entails, or we just wait until we actually see what they do. If they even do much. There could be job reworks, or just small additions that are actually more unique, or just more of the same.

I guess AST getting a rework is mandatory with an expansion.

As for the job identity focus, it could be a redesign if the Jobs UI and I wouldn't be surprised.
I wouldn't be surprised if they just skipped the whole thing like they never said it either...

So yeah, hope seems an empty promise like 'become the warrior of darkness' or 'go on a vacation'

SGE is just far worse SCH honestly

The SGE/SCH imbalance is arguably the most egregious in the game

Well it would be if healers are important lol.
