Should healers now be allowed to play how they choose to play?

Alright, now that I've read a bit of this thread I've come a realization. Play however you want. Cool. No one else has to put up with it, and the majority of people aren't. It's not going to change, it's not going away, good healers knowing that they need to DPS is here to stay. No one here is a DPS that wants to Heal, we're all Healers that want to DPS. This actually isn't even an argument. (￣▽￣)

I like how all this has already been said to Feyona before in a different thread. I wonder how many threads it will take to sink in.

No one here is a DPS that wants to Heal, we're all Healers that want to DPS.

For me as healer, I simply want to support the group. When I am healing, I am looking for my first opportunity to DPS. When I am DPSing, I am looking for my first opportunity to heal. If someone drops, I look for my first opportunity to raise them. I don't really enjoy one or the other so much as I appreciate the role as a whole and its versatility. With being able to choose which heals are best for the given situation, and not really having a set-in-stone DPS rotation, healer is quite possibly the most flexible role in the game.
