Are healers lazy or do some really live by "I only heal"?

[Mindylou]

So as a main lvl 60 PLD with ilvl 190+ gear, it pains me to see a healer stand around doing nothing when I'm clearly near full health and don't require any healing for at least 4-5 seconds. (Even more so when fighting bosses and they are casting an attack)

I usually find this behavior in my expert duty roulette. Sometimes I inspect the healer gear and they have 190 alex gear, which means they obviously should know how to dps and heal.

I understand that some players religiously believe in the phrase, "I'm a healer so I only heal." which is fine if that's what they believe. I guess I'm just looking for answers as to why players who play like that find it fun? I've started a healer and I find it so much fun having to balance watching when to heal and deal damage in between.

Oh stop complaining about healers wanting to do their JOB.
Tired of tanks complaining and whining

Then do your job and weave in DPS during the 10-12 seconds you get to wait between heals rather than running around and spamming emotes/looting/bouncing/doing other things that do not help the group.

Healers job is to support the group. Throwing up a HoT/shield and then doing damage supports the group. Overhealing by spamming 90% hp tanks and running around like a weeaboo do not.
