    My PoV as a Raid Leader who wants to get things done asap after the patch:

    Not using Cleric Stance as healer, especially as Scholar, is your playstyle choice, fair enough. But it literally equals Bards and MCHs not using WM / gauss Barrel, tanks not using DPS stance, Dragoons not keeping Blood of the Dragon up, Monk ignoring positionals.. It means you ignore important part of your class' toolkit. Healer was designed to DPS when there is nothing to heal, as said in Hall of the Novice.

    Most of the Savage fights in game (when they are relevant = few weeks after the patch they release with, since after that you get overgeared) have phases when they literally require almost zero healing = those are the times when both healers should be DPSing, and then phases when both healers have to use most of the things they have at their disposal in order to make the raid survive (Holy Bleed in A12S). You need 2 healers, however, their healing power is required at very specific moments, while during most of the fight, at least Scholar or Noct Astrologian are expected to deal damage.

    I am posting this video that somebody linked before me again, this is great example of healer not using half of his toolkit, and as you can see, he is not doing anything half the time. https://youtu.be/jBgMe5uHPsE?t=1s
