You shouldn't call someone "bad" just because they're not in a rush to get out of the dungeon and you are.

The DPS tools on a healer are primarily given for solo content. I mean... can you imagine playing a healer and never being able to attack something, farm for mats / gil / etc? That would suck rather badly. Sure, you can use dps in groups, I do because I have nothing better to do, but you shouldn't *have* to (except in very specific situations like Odin, for example, where no damage is coming in and every point of damage counts to not wipe.)
