    You're getting defensive for no reason when the quoted poster had a very good point. Yes many healers do like to dps but the fact is, SE has stated they don't design fights where healers need to dps. They don't design the game for healers to dps in group scenarios in general. So people are free to do it, but SE is not going to encourage it because their view of the classes is different.

    Cleric stance is for dps when you're soloing, out killing mobs and things. Have you ever actually tried to dps without cleric stance? You do no damage at all. You'd be inable to level as a healer without doing group content without Cleric Stance and for mobs of your level, you don't need accuracy. I think the design intention is pretty obvious.
