I'm pretty sure every single encounter pre-2.4 has been solo healed outside of savage coil. There is no reason to NOT let a healer contribute to DPS when appropriate, and a healer who never uses Cleric's Stance at every opportunity is not an exceptional healer.

Killing things faster means less raid damage, less chance of dying, less chance of wipes, etc.
