    I can't even bring myself to soften the blow with lead-in statements like this anymore. I see the words and recognize the good intention, but what I actually read is "Well if you don't want to try very hard it's okay, you're a healer after all."

    Let's just be perfectly honest and tell people they are purposefully being bad if they have the ability to DPS and choose not to. I don't believe in any kind of healer's prerogative to do the bare minimum and have that be okay.

    People who are still learning the game (like the OP) or a particular encounter? They get a pass. No one is expected to be born knowing how to play the game. Is their party so terrible that it requires constant babysitting? Then there understandably might be less time to DPS. Healers playing under normal or better conditions with a normal or better party? No excuse to slack.
