The little ones die in ~1 holy, deal very little damage (unless 5 of them are attacking you at once or something) and don't even attack you unless you attack them. I have never even seen them cast their nuke twice. In fact - I always holy the tons on that fight (so our dps can concentrate on the boss and we can down it faster) and I have never even been brought down to below... oh... 100%.
Yes, but what you're forgetting is that they only cast their grudge attack if they are nowhere near you. i.e. they aggro coming in/you are not up on King Tonberry's butt.

You can't Holy something across the damn room.

The only time they use grudge is if you kite it
This is simply not true. If they are too far away from you when they shift their attention to you, they will immediately cast the grudge attack. I've seen it happen many times (and it's one of the reasons why I no longer play WHM in WP).

- and there's no point to given that you're
1. healing
Except the attack does enough damage to interrupt you, especially if more than one hits you (or you just get unlucky).

2. can 1/2 shot with holy (you don't even have to aim)
Except that they're across the room if they're casting grudge, which means that not only can you not hit them with Holy, but because they put a slow debuff on you, you can't even run over to cast it on them.

I cannot imagine how 1 little ton can kill you, unless you attack it, and then your whole party, including yourself, afks. At level 50 - you get killed by a mob you can 2 shot? And if the healer was healing the whole time, how did the ton get on him?
1) It was probably more than 1 Tonberry, and I suspect the OP is leaving several things out.
2) Healing produces threat, in case you didn't know. You can easily pull threat as a White Mage on that fight if everyone is ignoring the Tonberry Adds (including the tank). You can also pull threat as they are coming in to the tank if the tank takes Tonberry King's Everybody's Grudge while they're still moving towards him. i.e. They have just spawned, you drop a bombing heal on the tank, and suddenly they all come for you. And yes, I have seen this happen, and yes, it can kill you within 1-2 seconds.

What the op describes is impossible, unless the game got glitched somehow. I swear every time I step into the forums, it's like I'm going into the twilight zone.
The OP is rather obviously leaving information out.
