Progression: Eos+AST vs Selene+WHM

[Llynd]

Healers have to heal... It's not as simple as that. Sch have to dps and only support at some point by shielding /healing a bit. Reach the dps needed for midas is quite a thing, and even if your team is good, unless you go there with a great ilvl, you'll need the off healer dps. And selene's buff is quite important to this point.
( but i agree with you that eos got way better skills than Selene....)

We did clear A5S in the third week after release (in i212-214) and in A6S DPS is not our current issue to give him the final blow.

In the first place we focus on "make it save" or "make it last longer" to get more practise out of every pull. If we reach the point we need the healer DPS to beat the enrage, we will do audjustments to get it. But in A5 and in A6 there is no need for that.

With our current gear, we clear A5S rigth before the add with the axe (the 100% crit rate one) without significant healer dmg (just in some situations, where the downtime is to boring). Don't know how far this is away from enrage, as we never have seen the enrage in this turn.

When your damage without healer DPS is to low, than your team of DPS players is not good. DPS checks in Midas are much easier than in Gordios. Midas is more about mechanics, which is IMHO the better solution to make it challanging.
