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

This all depends though.

If you think everyone needs to be above 80% at all times? then yeah, you are going to be healing like mad. Especially if you think you need to heal a Tank if their hp drops below 100%.

However most content does not require this. Using every or most GCDs on healing is unneeded.

Anyway, I am confused by something. Why did you even try to do raids? You say you are a very active player but from your posts you are even more casual than I am and I have never stepped foot in a high-end raid. So its weird that you would even consider it, and then complain you don't like how elitist it is.

I disagree Ive seen tanks drop from 100% to 0% in 2 secs frequently. and your judgement is that 'Im one of those healers' that has to keep everyone at 100%? I am raiding, yes surprisingly so. Just doesnt always have to be in an elitist way.
