I agree. I agree SO much.

But it will never happen, because creating content that's so difficult to heal you feel you NEED a WHM will cause imbalance. That's the problem with a job that specializes in higher healing. The content has to be able to be cleared by ALL healers, which means they'll never make Cure III a necessity, which in turn means you'll never need the higher burst healing a WHM potentially brings.
