I am fine with people taking small amounts of avoidable damage to maximize their DPS.
I do that for example in Neverreap at the first boss, I push my damage macro (Cleric -> Bio II -> Miasma -> Bio -> Cleric), and don't care about the AoE till it finishes casting. The AoE does less than 20% of my HP, and I can easily heal that without any danger to anyone in the fight.

When you know the fight and trust your healer, you can easily do stuff like that.
