Edit I guess there's a small one in phase 2 but the dps themselves are more then capable of handling the adds and you actually have to be careful not to kill them too fast either so yeah I just hold off till phase 3.
DPS Check or not, you can make your and the tank jobs easier by DPSing and help pushing to skip extra TB's etc.

As I mentioned, it's not hard to fit in, as the damage is very predictable. If it was hard to fit in, then I'd be the same and just take it cautiously.

And as a result I'm complemented a lot. People sometimes even go out of their way to tell me I'm one of the few who do my job.

Honestly though it makes me a little irked and want to stop dpsing. Even though I dps I don't believe in any form that healers HAVE to dps. Half the time I dps in the first place is cause dps is lazy themselves and I want to end the dungeon quickly. Im not understanding why tanks and healers are constantly being questioned but never dps.
Heh wow, no one has ever actually verbally acknowledged my DPSing on my SCH. In fact, I often find I am more likely to get commendations if I don't DPS and I just sit around and heal once in awhile.
