As a healer, is it my job to DPS? A new perspective.

Eh... simple is better...
Heal as priority,
DPS/dots when the parties HP and your MP is in the green(safe enough). (i mean if no ones taking much dmg and your just standing there like a bump on a log to cast the next heal in 5min....)

ex)
Had some instances where the healer was taking a ton of hate, i watched them and they were healing me like only when my HP was say 90%
And then last night there was the AST that was dpsing so much, everytime they tossed me a heal my HP was at 20% >.>;;

Aside from harder raids when you actually have to push yourself a little and fit that definite dps in,
most dungeons give you a choice.

But healing when you're at 20% gets the most mileage out of ED and healer damage 15k crits are beautiful

Even if he does die, you usually end up completing the dungeon faster since the healer was busy DPSing. So it's a win either way.

.....I admit in one fight, namely that stupid My Little Pony on Steroids Boss in Sohr Khai, I went pure DPS on the last 2% on the boss, Tank actually died right before the boss died.
I kinda apologized but....yknow.....sacrifices.
