I really hope you never had the joy of wiping sub 1% on any boss where your healers didn't do a single point of damage, not even on the long as fuck enrage cast (ie Ultima, Gigaflare).
No one expects healers to full time DPS, but not DPSing when your healing isn't required and just generates overheal is about as stupid as letting the tank die because you were busy doing your sick DPS. When you're new to content you probably won't have much time to DPS, but as you do content more often you should be able to see windows were you can DPS.
And no, I've never seen anyone complain that a healer does too little DPS or no DPS at all. It's up to the healer after all, but it's also up to the group if they wouldn't rather take a healer that can do more.
