When talking about the Aiming group, where their outsourced rdps contribution is much more constant than of those with just 2min meta buffs (Ninja, Monk, Summoner, etc...), it puts MCH in a weird spot because of how well this supporting aspect scales: Unless you're playing with really bad dpsers or in Light Party duties, MCH won't ever find a favorable place. (and the irony of it all is how botched MCH's aoe kit is, to even be a greater boon in Light Parties... sigh.)

And if they overbuff MCH to compensate for this, or make it more desirable, suddenly DNC and BRD will get heavily overshadowed.

To me it's just a symptom of being part of this Aiming group, and the best way to solve is to give a rotational damage buff to MCH in the likeness of Standard Finish (buffs one person) or the songs (buffs whole party for less). However to avoid overlapping those, it could be a damage debuff on the target instead. They would probably also include a 120s buff to the job, but that's beyond the point.
