No. That's what support jobs are for. And SMN is a support job, even if you don't like it.

I don't like it either, but it IS the job.
I'm not saying you should main heal as a BLM, nor melee as a SMN. I'm saying that you should cure yourself (hint: notice the bolded word, you have ignored it so far) to save the WHM MP for curing those who can't cure themselves or cure the tank.

BLM's job all depends on what is needed. Not to overnuke, yes. To keep a group of mobs slept, yes. Why are you lazy to cure yourself?

SMN is a job that supports damage dealing. They give buffs to the party and do decent damage to the mobs. They can kite stuff if needed, and can effectively turn a bad situation into a salvageable one. That is their role. To cure everyone is not.
