DPS is absolutely part of a healer's job description, in much the same way a tank should optimize DPS beyond the bare minimum they need to hold enmity; it's just that DPS is of secondary concern to healers when they literally can't or don't know how to correctly DPS a fight.

If you give people a pass on account of "not being comfortable," that's as good as a license to be lazy if it suits them. If healers can DPS, they should.
