Let's throw out the roles of the royal trinity and look at what your role really is...to enhance your party. If you are not dpsing and just sitting there watching tv because no healing needs to be done you are not enhancing your party and therefore not fulfilling your role. Any job should be using the abilities at their disposal to enhance the run. I dps on heals, I use my songs on bard, I even use abilities like eye for an eye and resurrection when I'm on smn, and if the healer goes down I heal on blm/smn and even pull out titan to try to save us if the tank goes down, because it enhances the overall party and I learned early on how to play my job. I have seen brand new healers dps, they sometimes fail, but that's how they learn and usually the pts are good with it. Only becoming a problem when it causes too many wipes, which it really never does.

Never state something as a fact, like healer dps is insignificant, if its just an assumption. You know what they say about what happens when you assume...
