Hybriding in 4e is one of the easiest ways to unintentionally make a terrible character, but BCL makes hybrid cleric often better than a pure class, for almost any application. The fact that clerics have access to phenomenal damaging and control powers as well as a top-notch defender paragon path and excellent utility selection is all icing on the BCL cake. The simplest fix would to require use of hybrid talent to swap healer's lore for BCL. That all said, just because it's often a very good option that solves any latent AC issues a class may have while also adding utility doesn't necessarily mean it's broken. In my mind it's much less broken than the classes stuck with light armor and no primary or secondary stat to AC are. Or even the ones given chain that don't want STR and CON so will be stuck in chain forever (hello non-battle cleric, hello Ardent).</blockquote>
