The arrogance of some people

The issue was that WHM in FFXI struggled to complete quests due to lack of dps when solo. Cleric Stance helps to change this handicap.

Im not saying that isn't the case, but if they removed cleric stance from instances I would need to start watching Netflix or something to get through them. I would just find it so boring to be unable to do any meaningful DPS in dungeons.

You can still DPS. The point of disabling Cleric Stance is to not remove the individual DPS skills healers DO have, but to put more pressure on DPS to perform optimally without assistance from the healer. Yes your DPS won't be as high, but if you have downtime you can still throw out damage spells between heals.

"Not as high" being 22% of what it used to be. Meaning completely negligible in the games current state.

Without cleric stance a healers damage is pretty much meh. I would probably just pick a different class to run dungeons with and stick with healer for raids if they removed cleric stance.
