So yeah, there's one source. People want DPS options on Healers? Try SGE with it's totally unique gameplay and heavy focus on attacking because it's so unique, guys.

That quote, read in its totality, gives no basis to draw the conclusion that SGE was intended to have a "heavy focus on attacking." The job has a couple mechanics, that's it, and they're technically unique amongst the healers. (They're not unique if you include tanks in the comparison, but the topic is healers.)

If anything, the "dramatic addition of offensive skills" that everyone wants was essentially taken off the table.
