Personally, I find Scholar more of a Combat healer than just a pure healing White Mage, you use your weaker heal's and shields and your pet to make up for your low healing potential, but you stack DoT's while your teamates are at a safe amount of protetion to burn enemies down, so having a pure INT build would give you roughly the same amount of INT/MIND pre level 50 book's, letting you get decent damage and healing done without having to juggle cleric stance and waffling between extremes, while still having a functional Summoner build.
