Str was worth a hell of a lot more than Vit. SE has acknowledged that it was a problem for tanks, it logically follows that it's also a problem for healers.

It's fine that healers do DPS; but the focus of the role has shifted way too far towards DPS.
Man, I consider myself an elitist and even I don't care one bit what a person has chosen to meld for dungeon runs. Tanks were a different issue because it was a whole right side of gear that was dps oriented, not just the melds but the prime stat. It was never a real issue; a tank in full STR accessories was still easy to keep up, nothing in dungeons even remotely required VIT accs. But when bad healers see an easy target to blame that's not themselves...well, we get what happened. And everybody lost out because of it.
