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

There is nothing wrong with cleric stance at all. In fact, it adds more depth in playing healers. The point is to have fun with the game. No one pays their subscription to be a pocket healer and just sit there and do nothing for 10+ minutes in dungeon runs. It's boring. Why would you pay subscription to be bored? If that was the case, no one would ever queue healer, and there will be no dungeon runs.

i don't queue as a healer to dps for that 10 mins either. if i wanted to do that i would have queued as a dps class. i want to heal in that 10 mins. the game doesn't offer me that, because the incoming damage is way too low. if i want to heal i have to do that in raids, because nowhere else is the incoming damage high enough to be a healer. but oh, wait, i am expected to dps in said raids, because it's hardcore content and everybody should be on top level.
