And yes, there have been fights in this game where the healers HAVE to help (And that's in healing situations that would make most Non-Dps Healers head spin).

Ignoring some of the most powerful tools in your kit out of laze when you're well within the capacity to do so (Talkin' about you /mdancers and 80% no casts) is at best terrible, and at worst disrespectful. The comparisons I made with Apo/Mantra/MP Songs/BRez is that they're all tools that don't traditionally fill the role they belong to, but they're still powerful tools anyhow that are used and expected to be used. It's not a question of NEED to be used at this point, we're long past that argument on page 2 of this thread. It's about using the tools within your kit to the best of your ability to help your team to down the content. When I meet a healer with near 0% overhealing and 0 mana remaining at the end of an encounter without DPSing then there may be merit to ZDPS Healers. Until SE ups the healing conditions for dungeon content/raids, expect people to be off put by Regen+afk for the next 20 seconds.
If someone wants to spend their free time doing the Manderville, more power to them. They aren't getting my com, but I have better things to do than get stressed out because randoms aren't doing whatever I want them to if they aren't actually stopping me from doing what I want.
