However, if healers got a free pass on accuracy, their stat slotting considerations would be 100% healing/role related
You don't need accuracy to do healing though, which is not your primary role as a healer. That falls onto the burden of the dps jobs (who still need accuracy to do their primary role). That's my point; their primary role is not contingent on accuracy (thus, doesn't make sense that they should get a free pass on doing something that other jobs are supposed to do, such as dps). You want accuracy to do more than just heal, but not to actually heal, whereas dps (and tanks as far as frontal accuracy is concerned) need it to do what they are supposed to do.
