Worst-case scenario examples are funny.

As an aside, this is exactly the kind of thing I'm referring to when I say it is a healthy experience to try DPSing as healer. So you see these situations crop up and think to yourself "welp, I did that wrong."
Except why do it wrong at all? That example doesn't mean the tank is an idiot, people aren't freaking robots, sometimes they are just a little slow to react. This is a game not a job. And that is far from a worst case scenario, no idea how much healing you've done if you think this is the worst that can happen.

I occasionally DPS as a healer but I actually find it not very fun since my damage contribution is minimal and if the content is so easy the healer can serve as a functional third DPS why aren't we just speed-running/mass pulling, which actually does require the healer to be on their toes.
