I thought support didn't just mean has a few buffs, but that we should be able to secondary heal, raise if someone screws up (as apposed to the primary healer having to dump mp and stop healing for 8 secs to raise) then dissipate enmity, bind and/or sleep targets to support tank, buff allies to increase their effectiveness. *snip*

Our heals were never worth casting; only WHM (and maybe SCH) can Raise in battle; ARC is still the class that unlocks Quelling Strikes (though there's not much else in the way of enmity management); we still have Bind (never had Sleep); and we still buff our allies to increase their effectiveness. We also gained a buff to increase incoming heals, potentially party-wide, by 10% for 15 seconds; as well as some self-healing so we aren't distracting the healer from the tank as often. Oh, and they buffed our DPS in the process.
