    The SCH and WHM jobs were designed to be equally as powerful and affective, moreso in endgame than levelling, in my experience (SCH healing was painful before AoEs and Leeches)

    People have actually calculated that, because of the pet's Embrace, SCHs are actually more efficient than WHMs and have a few desirable abilities that are unique to it, such as the AoE damage reduction (Sacred Soil) and Eye for Eye, as well as Lustrate which restores 20% of the target's max HP in exchange for an Aetherflow charge instead of MP. It's an amazing ability which means that you can bring a tank to full HP within a matter of seconds when near-death without having to wait for the spell GCD.

    The only main flaw with SCH at endgame is its AoE restoring capabilities. It has Succor which is relatively weak at first glance, but its Adloquium effect, and when piled with Eos' Whispering Dawn, still make it a very reliable job.

    Ideally all 8-man endgame content will consist of at least 1 WHM and 1 SCH.

    Edit: It's also worth mentioning that the Adloquium shield effect is an amazing bonus to the job.
