Why not ask for Will-based offense like RKs, Minstrels, and LMs have so that you can build your offense and outgoing healing with a single stat like... RKs, Minstrels, and LMs can? Then you'll be in the same boat as the other healing classes in that regard, and in the same boat as every other class in the sense that you'll have to choose between boosting your damage or your morale.

Focus on Will (and Fate) can be indeed an alternative solution with a proper stat conversion. Where Will act like Might and Fate like Agi. So Captains can gain melee offence and melee crit from their will/fate gear.

An alternative solution is moving the whole class toward its melee aspect and I mean healing skills based off the damage done. Example: Valiant Strike deals X dmg and heal your nearby fellowship members for 20% of the damage done. In this way even Agi will count for better heals (a crited VS will heal more).

Without a change I can just see the overbudget CPT gear or the class will fail on scaling.
Already now 5 stats are not so easy to manage.
