BLM doesnt have to have all the elemental spells, for the OP to say whm is "butthurt" (freakin hate that stupid term -_-) it sounds more like you are "butthurt" that BLM isnt all super badass.
I couldn't give a rats about mages all in all. I barely play them and only play them if I have to. At the moment BLM is boring, so I simply wished it was less-so. THM can't use Stardust Rod. People don't build the top tier stuff to sit in a locker.

You want a more valid reason other then lore reasons, but will it really make a difference to you? You're still going to think blm needs all the elemental spells and whm needs light spells. It's not going to change so I just don't really see the point in ppl fighting or name calling about it. WHM is an advanced version of CNJ. CNJ uses aero/stone. you take that away from whm then you take it away from cnj and you've just messed up a good chunk of how Eorzea is suppose to work.
I am not completely close minded, and if someone has suggestions on improving the currently boring battle mechanic that BLM has, I am yet to see that post. To be honest I think there are a lot more close minded CNJ lovers on here.. I would like things to change but I won't go raging at everyone that doesn't want it changed, like others seem to be.

I think lore is a pretty good reason on its own. I personally like the lore how its set up now.
Besides someone brought up the good point earlier that 50 isn't always going to be the cap.
As I mentioned, CNJ will always have the "healer" tag associated with it. You will be gimping the elements associated with CNJ by having this tag - simply because for balance reasons WHM cannot ever be as strong as BLM in regards to nuking. What would you pick? A job that can nuke, or a job that can nuke & heal with no handicap?
