Is DPS'ing as a Healer Vote Kickable?

[JisKing98]

My opinion is that healers should heal and thats it. none of this dps nonsense. You are a healer, why are you dpsing but thats just my opinion on the matter. (que the 'healers should dps as well remarks")

This Debate is a big one and is on going, on one side ppl say healers should dps, the other they shouldnt. unfortunately one side likes to attack the other *cough "heals should dps" side*

I'll be honest - in this game, healing is so overpowered that there's really no way to force one (in 4-man content) or two healers (in 8-man content) to have 100% casting uptime on nothing BUT heals. This is why even though I'd rather healing be more intensive, I still do DPS, because hey, it's better than standing around doing derp-all for about 50% of a run.

I push for healing design in this game to change, obviously - I'd rather strive for self-improvement in the area of my field, and not some sub-directive like DPS - but the way stuff is designed right now? Yeah...there's really no reason not to DPS, unless you're new/learning or just playing suboptimally. I don't attack anyone over this perspective, and honestly, nor would I kick someone for NOT DPSing as a healer; I just think it's something that people who are truly committed to maximizing the role in its current state would do.

If you are a healer and you're not dpsing, you are ignoring a good majority of your abilities, you're also standing around with more than enough time to do the manderville dance, and maybe a most gentlemanly pose before someone might need healing. Why do you think they gave WHM Aero, Aero II, Aero III, Stone, Stone II, Stone III, Fluid Aura, Holy and Assize? so you can put them on your bar and never use them? You're just lazy if you say healers shouldn't dps, you enjoy all that afk time while healing things, also enjoy your slower everything.
