As the title says, SCH is currently the worst healer by a big margin. It is the worst healer in terms of raid dps and healing wise. If you take a look at this tier (eden's verse) and past tier (eden's gate), and sort by rdps and hps you will see how far behind schs are in comparison to whm and ast. Realistically, you dont need shields to survive almost anything anymore (since SE removed vitality melds), in the rare instances that you do need, AST can use neutral sect which is way more GCD efficient. Pair that AST with a whm, both with regens and raid dps over the roof. Unlike ast's plethora of free healing ogcds and whm's alliviated dps loss healing gcds, sch best and true free healing ogcd is recitation and fairy heals (with pet tax and currently pretty weak). So basically, sch have nothing to bring to the table and its worse in doing what the other 2 healers do. PS: Deployment tactics is never used now and its complete garbage.
What could be done? I think the solution would be to have sch a niche again, sch used to be GOD because of their extra ogcds heals which other healers have catch up with now. SCH can either bring massive rdps with a huge buff to its personal dps or chain (or combination of both) with lackluster healing. OR they could bring massive ogcd heals with buffs to current ogcd and fairy so the whm+ sch comp is competitive with ast+ whm. That way sch can free whm up to pratically only glare all fight.
Anyway, I dont think there is an easy way to solve this, however schs are in dire need of some love right now.
