    It appears to imply that Tanks should be watching the Healer constantly and grabbing adds in a timely fashion, regardless of whether it's a DPS drop for them.

    That about right?
    I honestly don't get where you're going with this. It doesn't imply that a person should never make a mistake (like DPS should never take enmity from tank - of course they should aim to avoid it but mistakes happen), but yes, it does imply that not only healers but also tanks and DDs should do their best to actively participate in the fights. If a DD takes damage and has a Second Wind available, of course they should use it, and of course tanks should be pulling adds when they appear. I really don't get what you're trying to imply here.

    Healers aren't the only team members. If the "community" requires them to have multiple responsibilities, they need to require the same from the other team members. Complaints I've seen appear to absolve DPS and Tank from any responsibility outside their given role.
    Ah I see now, thanks for explaining! Yes, of course I agree that all party members should use all their useful abilities to support the party. I just feel like this is most often taken for granted for DDs and tanks, but for healers some people are actually arguing that they shouldn't have to do anything but that one thing. I'd dislike a BRD who doesn't sing, a DD who refuses to use Second Wind or Quelling Strikes, or an off tank who does absolutely nothing while there aren't any adds up just as I dislike a healer who refuses to do anything but heal.
