Most raid mechanics don't target one person, after all.
And as I stated before, no dps has a substantial heal. Second Wind gives my WAR about 1500 HP, I'm guessing dps still get under 2k non-crit. Manaward is incredibly powerful, but it's still only 30% of a low HP pool. Healing/shielding 2-3k HP every two minutes is a nice little mini-buff that can let you push just a little more or buy your healer another GCD to keep you alive, but it's not something to build a strategy around.
