Well then he should finally have the guts to nerf healing to the point that people can't be DPSing "generally almost all the time". The current situation is a thing because healers can get someone from low to full in a handful of casts and then just twiddle their thumbs until the next nuke hits. Mechanics like Photon-Whirlwind combos, double Whirlwind or double Mega Holy shouldn't be possible to heal, end of story. ONE of those should keep healers busy for a long while and beg for downtime to get people back up.

If Yoshi wants healers to only/mostly heal, he should finally make healing a full-time job. In many other games with healers, people don't urge them to DPS, despite the metagame being no different and healer DPS optimal. The reason is simple: Because only really damn good healers are even able to add DPS in those games, the rest is taxed out with just healing. If Yoshi wants that, he's in the position to make it so. If he keeps healing a part-time job however, he shouldn't be surprised if people want healers to do more than just heal >_>
