The hilarious thing is that they didn't. Look at dev comments or sometimes even patch notes. Round 1 holy nerfs? "Healers should not feel pressured to DPS". Hall of novice? "You MAY wish to DPS if you have time." Or other tidbits like "We know SOME groups' playstyle is to have healers DPS."

However, most people favor maximum contribution and so reach the logical conclusion: Healers are capable of significant DPS output and often have enough downtime to safely DPS. Thus, to maximize contribution, healers should DPS.

In the end it doesn't matter though. You can basically kick someone for a party for any reason except to grief them, so you can kick a healer that does/doesn't DPS.
