A jack-of-all-trades that does everything well is by definition an anomaly that needs to be crushed. It cannot exist in a balanced PvP design, period. Healers should be dependent on their team members to keep them alive and deal damage, just in the same way the DPS is dependent on the healers to keep them up for longer than a few seconds of focused fire and to remove DoTs and debuffs. This interdependency is at the core of the game's design, and the idea that there should exist classes that exist entirely independently of other classes is hilariously short-sighted.

only SCHs arent a jack of all trades. if there is pressure on them, guess what, they can't dps. they have to heal. and if there is no pressure on them, then you should be allowed to attack. its not like we are doing the dps of a blm or smn. healers dependent on the team? doubt it. i don't know what games you've been playing, but even the top mmo's pvp environment aren't designed that way. in WoW, prior to them giving healers more damage to their damage abilities, healers couldn't kill anybody, but were immortal. but now yea go ahead and try to 1v1 a Disc priest in PvP, not only is it still immortal but you will also die trying to take it out. so that just goes to show that your interdependency is not the core of a game's design and WoW is one of the if not the top mmo in the world.
