DPSing as a healer

[Fevelle]

If I'm a juggler, and I suck, no one is going to pay me to juggle. I can juggle all I want, but when I do it in front of others badly, I would expect them to laugh or tell me I'm terrible. I wouldn't argue that actually I'm a super amazing juggler and I'm the best at juggling.

No one says that. What we say is that people should not laugh and tell that you're terrible, or even remove you from what you're doing, because at the very least, you're doing the minimum required by keeping people alive.

That's pretty much exactly what the zero DPS healers have said.
"I'm great at my job, really good at it" despite being objectively terrible.

A healer that can't effectively DPS while healing ain't a good healer by any objective measure.

Not one time have I heard anyone bark at a healer for not DPSing either running as one or with them. When I have heard healers get barked at when running as one or with one: When the tank dies and/or they die and freakin Cleric is up. It drives people batsh*t. On the contrary, healers who let people die because they are too busy DPSing need to hang up their healers robe. They fail as healer.
