I think it's the healers themselves that need to go back and visit the Novice Hall so they can learn what "downtime" is! It's sad because I've seen some pretty amazing healers out there who can dish out the damage and keep everyone above 90%. The problem is that MOST healers, and I'm gonna say I've seen this problem with WHM more often than not, cannot seem to stop nuking once they start. Or they will coast through a dungeon just dpsing and then casting Benedition on the tank once in a while. This is what is causing a shift in the community towards eliminating dps from healing classes in instances.

I've gone into dungeons where Tanks immediately ask the healer to focus on healing. That seems like a premptive fear reaction to me... Yet on the other hand we all know that no gamer likes to be commanded on how to play their class.
