Kicked from DR Leveling because I don't slot Protect for low level dungeons?

I'll make sense of it for you: There seems to be a disturbing trend among healers toward shirking support duties and looking for offense at any cost. I myself have noticed fewer healers using Swiftcast in tandem with Raise/Ressurect, which tells me they're not slotting the ability as regularly as one would expect.

In which content have you noticed this trend?

I've noticed this most glaringly in Dun Scaith. To my mind, SMNs seem more likely to use Swiftcast+Resurrect in these raids than WHMs/SCHs, which is bothersome.

More likely that it was down after using it on a previous party members death.

Having healed Dun Scaith and also done it often on other jobs; Dun Scaith isn't a good place to determine if healers are slotting the proper cross class skills or not.

Having to raise so very often because of massive deaths makes it so Swiftcast is only up for some of the raises and other times you end up having to hard cast it. Not to mention you are more likely to notice a hard casted raise than a Swiftcast + Raise since one takes a long time to cast and the other is instant (and has no cast bar) and you'd have to be watching the healer/party list closely to see it (sometimes buffs get truncated by the party list as well if there are too many so a healer might use Swiftcast and you might not even see it)

Personally I am so quick with Swiftcast + Raise you would only have half a second to see the buff before I expire it since I already used the Raise on someone.

If a healer is not cross classing Swiftcast at 60 in one of the 5 slots available then their play style is the main issue. It is incorrect for a healer to not have Swiftcast in one of the slots at 60. So it is kind of like blaming experienced healers for other healers being inexperienced...it isn't my fault if another healer does not research their role to find out what is best at 60 and no one here is advocating to not cross class Swiftcast in one of the later slots so this doesn't have much to do with this topic or what most of us are discussing.
