I'm learning to throw Stone or Aero during lulls, but I don't think I'll ever be able to 'stance dance.' That's because I'm hypervigilant on everyone's HP, and all it would take is for me to 'forget' to switch stances during a rush of damage to invite disaster. And yes, I'm prone to that sort of thing. I don't know what I'll do if my group demands I contribute to the DPS meters.
If demanding Healer DPS becomes a norm, then I would gladly welcome the solution OP proposes. I don't play Healer to DPS. I play it to heal. It's one of *the* reasons I play MMOs to begin with. I hate when I hear MMOs are trying to 'break' the Tank/Healer/DPS triad, because it sounds like just making all claases DPS of some sort, and more distressingly, eliminating the pure Healer role I love so much. It'll be a sad day for me if/when those disappear.
