There is no reasoning to be done between the two sides, because their arguments are based on completely different things (one can of course estimate and argue about which starting point makes more sense when we are talking about playing the jobs).
It is not defined by the label it is defined by what you are able to do in the circumstances. Priority is healing, priority is not both. You heal first as the situation allows, it should not be expected in all cases
