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

Hmm, sounds like a combination of low gear and poor cooldown management.

Nah 1 mil is about normal for an i250 group with no healer dps.

Over 8 minutes it's about 2k DTPS for the MT. The pet can cover about 950 HPS at i250 (with Rouse used) with AST regen at about 700 HPS. So only about 350 DTPS needs to be covered for the rest which is mostly just the heavy cleaves.

Given a tank with 30k HPS you just need to keep him above half health. So at a loss of 350 HPS you have a 40 second window in which to swap from Clerics to cast some heals. With an ideal system is to keep up Aspected Benfefic (18s) while rotating Benefic and Essential Dignity.

So to play it safe. Aspected Benefic -> DPS for 18s -> Aspected Benefic + Essential Dignity -> DPS for 18s -> Essential Dignity + Benefic -> DPS for 18s (fill in Aspected Helios where required etc)

Please note that Combust is 18s and Combust II is 40s

This is in tank dps stance with no other way to take extra damage. So not sure what else to say. Doesn't sound like a tank issue?
