As a healer, is it my job to DPS? A new perspective.

This also effects how healers would manage to heal/do mechanics if the healing requirements were higher. Skilled players may not be able to heal/dps but average players wont be able to heal/mechanics.

I feel like this is no different from DPS classes as it is. Some people can do a perfect dummy rotation but can't keep their DPS up with movement and mechanics. The only additional hurdle for healers is the risk involved with Cleric Stance, and that's probably something they should remove if they dramatically increase the healing load. That would mean healers would be as able as dps classes to do their healing "rotation" during mechanics while also having a fluid option of avoiding overheal with offensive GCDs, instead of the danger of mechanical mistake + Cleric penalty screwing them over twice as bad. This would also be in line with the changes they said would be coming to the DPS classes with the easing of buff up keep, such as Enochian.
