There are burst windows for like every class, if you counter these windows as healer there is not much to fear from dps until the next burst window. Players in frontlines usually don't care if they are bursting in a tank lb or safeguard buff, or if the targets are covered by tanks.
A lot of people have targeting issues, they cant run and press an attack button the same moment, they use standard movement controls and cant run backwards fast, they are not using all their skills and sitting on full TP/MP ressources, they have no real burst it is just a constant dmg output often with no spike, it may even seem high at the end of a feast match but all that damage wont kill a healer usually, only burst is really effective. Some people are afraid of attacking, they seem like they are doing something, but they aren't, they use a skill every 5-10s.
When we will have premade matches in feast it will become really ridiculous, because you will see targets often die in 1gcd and you cant do anything about it.
Another issue is, if both sides have bad dps, MP will be low(because its a long fight), you cant use your big heal anymore all the time because it is 4xmore expensive for just the double heal output, so MP miss management leads to kills too.
Even if the 4 dps you mentioned were somewhat capable, with a constant Cure II/Benefic II/Adlo spam it might be possible to sustain for some time, you will be at 0 MP after a very short time, but maybe they give up or are dead until then. This is why it is important to keep up pressure against healers, as they often burn their cooldowns in frontlines pretty fast, if they are gone they are easy to kill. Delay your burst a bit and it will be easier.

Thank you for your insight :)
Btw in Frontline, 2 healers helping each other is a pain to kill, and actually 3 healers looks like impossible to beat if the 3 know what they are doing ^^" And I talk about in realistic random situation, not like "we are 8 premade bursting at the exact same time". Thx it's not the case in the 4v4 Feast :)

A premade of machinists using GCD+"Between the eyes"+GCD at the same time on the stuned healer must be funny :p

It was more about culling time making it so that eventually, someone had to die, as well as the medal mechanic adding debuffs to everyone over time to make them easier to kill. The only reason it wasn't as hard before was that healers could be chain cced and forced into a lot of casting downtime to coincide with those bursts, and even then healers kept people up a lot. WHM in particular had repose and fluid aura to counter tanks, and was best healer since they had the best cc to attack back.
